Toxicity/epidemiological studies

Many such studies have been made, notably

Ichihara G, Asaeda N, Kumazawa T, et al. Testicular and hematopoietic toxicity of 2-bromo-propane, a substitute for ozone layer-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. J Occup Health 1997;39:57-63.

demonstrating that 2-BP is a powerful reproductive toxin to both sexes and also a neurotoxin. Perhaps the "Safety" issue should be expanded. (also applies to 1-BP which is now widely used in industry and, although less toxic, is equally both a reproductive and neurotoxin). --Devilinhell (talk) 15:28, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a practical matter, if we cite every or even a tenth of the publications on health aspects of chemicals, the articles would become overwhelmed. MSDS's, which guide readers to review of the hazards, are written more rigorously and more authoritatively than Wikipedia. So we tend to defer to them. Also we avoid offering advice, which is another reason to defer to the MSDS. At least that's my view.--Smokefoot (talk) 23:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
