This book contains the proceedings of a symposium held in Finland in 1980, attended wholly by European experts. The 8 sections following the introductory 2 chapters deal with the biological monitoring of metals and metalloids, industrial solvents, "miscellaneous compounds", combined exposures, cancer risk and genotoxic chemicals as well as sources of error and quality control, early organ effects in surveillance, and future developments.
Contents: Objectives, theory and practice; metals and metalloids (lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, nickel, arsenic); industrial solvents (benzene, xylene, styrene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, dimethylformamide); other compounds (carbon monoxide, phenol, aniline, nitrobenzene, fluorides, ethylene glycol dinitrate, N-nitroso compounds, pesticides); combined exposures (chemical and biochemical interactions, solvents and ethanol, urinary thioether excretion, enzyme induction); sources of error and quality control; early organ effects; cancer risk and genotoxic chemicals; development and future prospects of biological monitoring
