Our experience in biological monitoring of exposure to some organic solvents

Abstract

Prikazana su iskustva u primjeni biološkog monitoringa profesionalne izloženosti benzenu, toluenu, ksilenu, stirenu, trikloretilenu i tetrakloretilenu. Istaknuta je važnost pravilnog odabira pokazatelja, medija i vremena uzorkovanja. Uspoređena su vlastita istraživanja s postojećim biološkim graničnim vrijednostima te je naglašena potreba za njihovom realnom primjenom u svrhu zaštite zdravlja radnika.The paper describes our experience in the application of biological monitoring of occupational exposure to benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, trichloroethylene and tatrachloroethylene. The importance of adequate selection of indicator, matrix and sampling time is pointed out. Own results are compared with the existing biological exposure indices. The need for actual and strict application of biological exposure indices is emphasized tram the point of view of workers\u27 healh protection
