Trichloroethylene 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...
متن کاملA non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values
BACKGROUND To estimate a threshold limit value for a compound known to have harmful health effects, an 'elbow' threshold model is usually applied. We are interested on non-parametric flexible alternatives. METHODS We describe how a step function model fitted by isotonic regression can be used to estimate threshold limit values. This method returns a set of candidate locations, and we discuss ...

متن کاملCautious optimism for proposed European MRI exposure limit exemption.
I n 2004 Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Liz Lynne was Shadow Rapporteur on a proposed European Union directive for what is now the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in Europe. EU Directive 2004/40/EC aimed to regulate worker exposure to electromagnetic fields. “I did a lot of research work on it,” MEP Lynne said. “I contacted medical experts and consulted manufacturers to understand w...
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...
