- Hydraulic Fluid Contents and Contaminants
Toxnet HSDB Cross-Reference
Duke Hospitals patient releases indicate that 11 contaminants were
found in the hydraulic fluid which was introduced into the surgical
cleaning and sterilization process. Those contaminants, compounds
with those contaminants, other potentially toxic hydraulic ingredients
and other contaminants judged likely to be found in used hydraulic
fluid are cross-referenced with the Hazardous Substances Data Bank
(HSDB) Toxnet database, with information concerning treatment, possible
symptoms and other related medical care information, in this link.
HSDB is a part of the Toxnet Toxicology Data Network provided by
the United States National Libray of Medicine, a service of the
National Institute of Health.

Toxicology Data Network (Toxnet)
Toxnet allows you to search the database for symptoms, matching
the symptoms with potential toxins which might match those symptoms.

- Potential Symptoms / Hydraulic Fluid
Content / Contaminants Cross-Reference
The linked resources lists symptoms which may be a result of toxic
exposure, cross-linking these symptoms to contents and contaminants
potentially found in used hydraulic fluid.
Please let us know if you are aware of any additional toxicity
research resources which would be of use to those involved with
the research study.
