(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-07-02) Coronel Tapia, Marcos; García Vásquez, Carlos Hugo
Xylene is a cyclic hydrocarbon and environmental contaminant, known for its carcinogenic properties. It is mainly used as a solvent in printing, rubber manufacturing, cleaning agents, paint thinners, varnishes, synthetic fibers, leather, and histopathology laboratories. Contact with xylene occurs through the eyes, skin, ingestion, and inhalation. This research aims to determine if the harmful effects of xylene are related to work stress in personnel of the pathology department at Hospital II-1 Moyobamba, 2022. An observational methodology was used with a quantitative instrument (Likert-scale questionnaire). Conclusions suggest that staff express vulnerability to stress due to exposure to harmful chemicals. Recommendations are made to improve the working conditions of pathology department personnel.

Vegetable oil as a substitute for xylol in the deparafinting action in routinehistotechnological stains. Lima 2021
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-05-21) Arias Corrales, Carlos Eduardo; Ascarza Gallegos, Justo Angelo
Over the years, xylene, commercially known as xylol, has become the most used clearing agent in histotechnological procedures for the deparaffinization of histological sections for staining. However, the toxic effects of this reagent can cause various diseases in the bodies of histotechnology professionals, such as skin irritation, erythema, and dryness, as well as respiratory difficulties. Due to this, research is underway to find less toxic substitutes for the health of professionals and the environment. This study proposes the use of vegetable oil as a deparaffinizing agent to replace xylene in these processes.
