Tests are available to measure levels of dinitrophenols and its breakdown products in blood and urine. (cdc.gov)
Solids1
Dinitrophenols can be either solids or gases in the air and may travel long distances through the air. (cdc.gov)

ToxGuide pdf icon [128 KB] - Quick reference guide providing information such as chemical and physical properties, sources of exposure, routes of exposure, minimal risk levels, children's health, and health effects for a substance. (cdc.gov)
Once in soil, dinitrophenols can move into groundwater or break down in soil. (cdc.gov)
Exposure2
2,4-Dinitrophenol is absorbed by the oral, indicate exposure to 2,4-dinitrophenol, ingestion of contaminated food and inhalation, and dermal routes. (cdc.gov)
These tests cannot predict whether you will have health problems from the exposure to dinitrophenols. (cdc.gov)
Soil1
Dinitrophenols can be removed from the air into water or soil. (cdc.gov)
Supplements2
Taking illegal diet pills or supplements that contain dinitrophenols will expose you to this chemical. (cdc.gov)
It is important not to purchase or take illegal diet pills or supplements that have dinitrophenols in them as these can cause serious health problems, including death. (cdc.gov)
Chemicals1
Dinitrophenols are a class of manufactured chemicals that do not occur naturally in the environment. (cdc.gov)
Hazardous3
Toxicological Profile - Succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for a hazardous substance. (cdc.gov)
If you live near a hazardous waste site, you might be exposed to dinitrophenols from contaminated air, water, or dirt. (cdc.gov)
Children should avoid playing in dirt near hazardous waste sites to avoid coming in contact with dinitrophenols. (cdc.gov)
2-amino-4-nitrophenol (predominant) and There are no recent monitoring data for for weight loss and body building by 4-amino-2-nitrophenol and then to levels of dinitrophenols in air. (cdc.gov)
There are no recent monitoring data for excreted in the urine and, with profuse levels of dinitrophenols in drinking water. (cdc.gov)
Swallowing low levels of dinitrophenols for short or long periods of time can cause an increase in heart and breathing rates, weight loss, a feeling of warmth, increase sweating, and possibly death. (cdc.gov)
Cataracts, skin rashes, and fewer white blood cells in the blood were also seen in people who swallowed low levels of dinitrophenols. (cdc.gov)
Potential1
The Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have not evaluated the potential for dinitrophenols to cause cancer. (cdc.gov)
Dinitrophenols are used in the Dinitrophenols exist in both the vapor fetal/pup body weight and length. (cdc.gov)
Studies in animals show that the most common effect of dinitrophenol is weight loss and increased body temperature. (cdc.gov)
Death1
In the 1940s and earlier, factory workers who breathed or came in contact with high amounts of dinitrophenols for a short and long period of time experienced fever, sweating, restlessness, decreases in white blood cells, and sometimes death. (cdc.gov)
Health7
In the 1930s, 2,4-dinitrophenol was used blood is bound to serum proteins, and the underlying health conditions. (cdc.gov)

ToxFAQs - Fact sheet that answers the most frequently asked questions about a contaminant and its health effects. (cdc.gov)
In the 1930s 2,4-dinitrophenol was used in diet pills but was banned for this use in 1938 because of health risks. (cdc.gov)
Most of the information on health effects of dinitrophenols comes from old studies of patients who were prescribed diet pills containing dinitrophenol before it was banned. (cdc.gov)

Environment2
Dinitrophenols are a class of manufactured chemicals that do not occur naturally in the environment. (cdc.gov)
2,4-Dinitrophenol can be release to the environment through various waste streams, due to the production and use in the manufacture of dyes. (europa.eu)

A review of environmental data collected during two previous surveys in the quality control laboratory, one by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and one by a private industrial hygiene consultant, did not indicate the presence of detectable levels of sulfur dioxide in 4 samples collected, sulfuric acid in 7 samples, selenium in 2 samples, or 2,4-dinitrophenol in 1 sample.
