Ototoxicity
By: Mike Mccoy, CIH
Ototoxins are present in the occupational environment as solvents, metals, and asphyxiants across numerous industries. When ototoxin exposures is combined with occupational noise, ototoxins can lead to significant hearing loss, sometimes of greater impact than noise exposure alone. In this presentation we’ll discuss the macro and micro anatomy of the ear, major ototoxic compounds, the ACGIH “OTO” designation, synergism and potentiation of ototoxins and discuss the recent scientific literature which provides insight into best industrial hygiene practice for managing ototoxin exposure. We’ll also discuss some control strategies and best practices for employee health protection in environments where both occupational noise and ototoxins are present.
