1 Chronic Toxic Potential of Selected Hydrocarbons in Crude Oil Peter S. Spencer Oregon Health & Science University

2 Crude Oil Composition & Effects Composed of thousands of chemical structures. Few tested individually for toxic potential. Toxicity varies with structure. Dose and exposure duration are key variables in determining outcome. Methods to study biological effects of chemical mixtures are available but data interpretation is huge challenge. Some understanding of molecular mechanisms of chronic neurotoxicity and carcinogenesis. Acute health effects, chronic health effects, and long-latency latency health effects may operate through different mechanisms. Differential individual genome-based susceptibilities possible but little investigated. HYDROCARBONS Alkanes (straight- chain compounds) Cycloalkanes ( naphthenes ) Aromatics (benzene ring- based compounds, including PAHs). NON-HYDROCARBONS Sulfur compounds Nitrogen compounds Oxygen compounds Metal compounds

3 ALKANE (STRAIGHT-CHAIN) HYDROCARBONS Neurotoxic potency in rodents varies with co-exposure to certain other chemicals (toluene, methyl ethyl ketone) Differential individual susceptibility arises from gene-based enzyme differences, nutritional status, and/or preexisting health status?

4 PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY Loss of sensation followed by weakness in the feet then hands; deficits slowly ascending the affected limbs bilaterally and symmetrically. Advances then retreats once exposure ceases. RODENT STUDIES Ends of long and large-diameter fibers in nerves and spinal cord undergo changes resulting in loss of connection between CNS, muscle and peripheral sense organs. Nerve fiber regeneration restores nerves, but not in CNS. Late-onset parkinsonism claimed but unproven
