Breath, urine, and blood measurements as biological exposure indices of short-term inhalation exposure to methanol.
Due to their transient nature, short-term exposures can be difficult to detect and quantify using conventional monitoring techniques. Biological monitoring may be capable of registering such exposures and may also be used to estimate important toxicological parameters. This paper investigates relationships between methanol concentrations in the blood, urine, and breath of volunteers exposed to ...
متن کاملTrichloroethylene exposure. Biological monitoring by breath and urine analyses.
A mathematical model developed previously has been used to study some aspects of biological monitoring of exposure to trichloroethylene (TRI) by the analysis of this solvent in alveolar air or of its metabolites, trichloroethanol (TCE) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), in urine. Assuming that a biological control must be representative of the time-weighted average concentration (TWA), it was foun...
متن کاملBiological effects of short-term, high-concentration exposure to methyl isocyanate. I. Study objectives and inhalation exposure design.
Early reports from India indicated that humans were dying within minutes to a few hours from exposure to methyl isocyanate (MIC). Attempts to explain the cause(s) of these rapid mortalities is where Union Carbide Corporation concentrated its post-Bhopal toxicologic investigations. The MIC studies involving rats and guinea pigs focused primarily on the consequences of acute pulmonary damage. All...
متن کاملArsenic in blood and urine of forest workers as indices of exposure to cacodylic acid.
Five healthy forest workers exposed to cacodylic acid during a two-month period were observed for evidence of accumulation of arsenic in the blood, the pattern of Its urinary excretion, and signs of clinical toxicity. Urinary arsenic appeared to constitute an index of exposure, with excretion levels increasing within one week. Blood levels wrre found to correlate poorly with exposure. Worker ed...
متن کاملTrichloroethylene in urine as biological exposure index.
Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TRI) was studied by analysis of environmental air and urine from 49 workers operating in a special printing house on glass. For the measurement of environmental concentration of TRI (Cenv), the ambient air was sampled using personal passive dosimeters. The activated charcoal was desorbed with carbon disulfide and injected into a gas-cromatograph - mas...
