BIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF MERCURY EXPOSURE IN DENTISTS OF TEHRAN
In order to assess the risk for mercury poisoning in dentists, urine specimens were collected and analysed from 250 dentists (190 male, 60 female). Subject data and pertinent health symptoms were asked via a questionnaire. The results indicate that the mean and standard deviation of mercury values were 51.3± 38.0 µg/L, while 27.2 percent of dentists had levels within normal limits (0-19 µg/...
متن کاملFramework for the development and application of environmental biological monitoring guidance values.
Human biomonitoring (HBM) is widely recognised as a useful tool to aid assessment of exposure to chemical substances, but our ability to detect hazardous substances (or their metabolites and health effects) often exceeds our understanding of their biological relevance. There are only a few established frameworks for developing and using occupational and environmental biological guidance values ...
متن کاملNew technologies in the use of exhaled breath analysis for biological monitoring.
Breath analysis is an attractive non-invasive procedure for screening workers exposed to solvents. It has been used in numerous laboratory based studies and for field research. Despite the obvious advantages in routine biological monitoring it has failed to become widely accepted as a tool in occupational hygiene. Recent advances in breath sampling and analysis are such that it is likely to bec...
متن کاملA Novel Biological Dosimetry Method for Monitoring Occupational Radiation Exposure in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Wards: From Radiation Dosimetry to Biological Effects
Background and Objective: Professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. Occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. Biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects....
متن کاملHygienic guidance values for wipe sampling of antineoplastic drugs in Swedish hospitals.
The use of antineoplastic drugs in health care steadily increases. Health care workers can be occupationally exposed to antineoplastic drugs classified as carcinogenic or teratogenic. Monitoring of surface contamination is a common way to assess occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs, since wipe sampling is used as a surrogate measure of dermal exposure. Since no occupational limits for ...
