Blood Toluene and Genotoxicity in Gasoline Station Workers in Bangkok: a Preliminary Study
Toluene is widely used as an industrial solvent and is usually produced in the processes of making gasoline. Inhaled toluene may cause genotoxicity and other adverse health effects. This study aimed to ascertain the relation between blood toluene exposure and genotoxicity, as measured by sister chromatid exchange (SCE), by comparing gasoline station workers to controls. Mean blood toluene and S...

متن کاملExposure assessment of ETBE in gas station workers and gasoline tanker truck drivers.
OBJECTIVES In order to measure occupational exposure concentrations of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), we developed a diffusive sampling method for monitoring ETBE and performed an ETBE exposure assessment. METHODS The applicability of diffusive samplers was examined by exposing the samplers to ETBE vapor in test chambers. The personal exposure levels of workers and airborne concentrations...
متن کاملThe sex ratio of offspring of male gasoline filling station workers.
gasoline filling station workers Ansari-Lari et al reported that the sex ratio (proportion male) of offspring of men exposed to petroleum fuel is significantly low as contrasted with controls. If confirmed, this is an important result. It is in contrast with reports of significantly high offspring sex ratios in communities exposed to active seepages of natural gas and oil and to petrochemical a...
