Synopsis

This volume provides detailed, ready–to–use protocols for human biomonitoring methods, which were developed to monitor concentrations of occupational toxicants, yet can be equally used for environmental monitoring. All the methods are reliable, reproducible, adhere to ′Good Laboratory Practice′ standards and cover all the required steps from sampling to the interpretation of results with respect to relevant biological exposure values. This includes data on precision, accuracy, and detection limit, calibration procedures as well as potential sources of systematic errors.

About this title

About the Author

Jürgen Angerer is Head of the working group "Analytical Chemistry" of the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area. He is a member of the International Society of Exposure Analysis (ISEA) and board member of the International Society of Environmental Medicine (ISEM). He is author and editor of numerous books and belongs to the editorial boards of the Journal of Chromatography B as well as of the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health. Helmut Greim is Head of the DFG–Senate Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area and also President of the Advisory Committee on Existing Chemicals of Environmental Relevance of the German Chemical Society. Both bodies are intimately involved in European regulatory procedures concerning hazardous chemicals.

From the Back Cover

All volumes of the MAK–Collection provide comprehensive and authoritative information for occupational health and safety professionals and researchers. They cover both the toxicological substantiation of threshold values for chemicals at the workplace (MAK and BAT values) and the suitable monitoring methods. Thus, they are an indispensable tool for maintaining occupational health and safety. Here, detailed, ready–to–use protocols for human biomonitoring methods are provided, which were developed to monitor concentrations of occupational toxicants. They can also be used for environmental monitoring.. All methods are reliable, reproducible, in accordance with ′Good Laboratory Practice′ standards and cover all required steps from sampling to the interpretation of results with respect to relevant biological exposure values. This includes data on precision, accuracy, and detection limit, calibration procedures as well as potential sources of systematic errors. The documented methods are authoritative, because they were compiled by the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area. The Commission is internationally acknowledged for its neutrality and is working strictly according to transparent, scientific criteria.
