Synopsis

This handbook contains methods for determining the presence in blood or urine of sixteen hazardous compounds frequently encountered in occupational environments. These include aromatic amines, benzene derivatives, trichloroacetic acid, phenol and chlorophenols, hippuric acid and its methyl derivatives, bromine, as well as the noxious metals beryllium, cadmium, nickel, and thallium. The description of each method includes an evaluation of the method, a brief listing of the reliability criteria, and general information on the chemical compound to be tested, i.e. toxicity, metabolism, toxicokinetics, and its normal limit values in biological material as far as they are known. The method itself is described in sufficient detail so that it can be easily duplicated by the staff of any appropriately equipped laboratory. This handbook continues the work of Volume 1 for twenty new hazardous compounds.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Much more attention is paid to occupational and environmental health today than in the past. This is largely due to the availability of reliable analytical methods that are adaptable to routine use and can be employed to monitor the workplace and evaluate the health risk of exposed persons. This volume comprises methods for the determination in urine or blood of the following hazardous compounds frequently encountered in occupational environments: antimony, aromatic carbocyclic acids, barium, strontium, titanium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, cyanide, erythrocyte porphyrins, fluoride, hydrazine, lead, mercury, phenols and aromatic alcohols, and selenium. Each method has been carefully evaluated with regard to accuracy, precision, detection limits, sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, each method is described with sufficient detail so that it can be easily duplicated by staff of any appropriately equipped laboratory. Volume 1 of the series (ISBN 3–527–26095–1) on further hazardous compounds was published in 1985 and is still available.
