Abstract From a historical perspective there is solid evidence for concern about the significant increase in the association between environmental agents and cancer or other diseases. These agents may be single substances or complex mixtures; they may be consumables or contaminants, and they may exist in the workplace and/or outside of it. From the latter part of the last decade and into the foreseeable future, interest in professional sports and sports for personal leisure-time enjoyment and physical fitness will undoubtedly continue to involve an ever-increasing following. To date there has been no study conducted on the possible adverse effects of consumables (drugs, liniments, etc.) or contaminants (air pollutants, ultraviolet radiation, etc.) on professional or amateur athletes. A recent case report suggests that benzene in rubber cement used by a marathon runner to keep adhesive tape in place over blistered areas of the feet may have contributed to the development of aplastic anemia. Other substances to which a great number of athletes are exposed are alcohol- or petroleum-based liniments and balsams, dust from talc and chalk, and drugs. The nature of absorption, metabolism, and pharmacokinetics in athletic exercise; dose (duration and intensity); response (threshold, interaction); latent period; and reversibility of adverse reaction are factors that have not been so far addressed in pharmacology and toxicology. We are pleased to have the opportunity to discuss our studies on the absorption and excretion of a swimming pool chlorine stabilizer by recreational long-distance swimmers.
