Synopsis

The information contained within this book is intended to provide health professionals with an assessment of current applications and future directions for the biological monitoring of occupational exposure to chemicals with an emphasis on inorganic chemicals and metals. Techniques are discussed that may provide great potential for the application of biological monitoring to the early detection or prevention of carciogenesis and especially for the detection of occupational cancers. The work will deal with principles but will also include state-of- the-art reviews of promising techniques in biological monitoring.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This companion volume to Biological Monitoring of Exposure to Chemicals: Organic Compounds presents recent results from both field and laboratory studies investigating the presence of metals and organometallic compounds in biological media. A distinguished list of contributors describe studies which assess the extent of human exposure to metals, and recount fundamental studies at the molecular level, such as investigation of immunotoxicological effects of the interaction of metals during absorption and biological transformation. There is also a study of the biological monitoring of environmental contamination that demonstrates how biological samples determine the transport and fate of metals in the environment.
