Urinary concentrations of PAH and VOC metabolites in marijuana users.
BACKGROUND Marijuana is seeing increased therapeutic use, and is the world's third most-popular recreational drug following alcohol and tobacco. This widening use poses increased exposure to potentially toxic combustion by-products from marijuana smoke and the potential for public health concerns. OBJECTIVES To compare urinary metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatil...
متن کاملBiomarkers of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from environmental air pollution.
Metabolites of pyrene and DNA adducts have been used as biomarkers of high level exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A systematic review was performed to evaluate whether these biomarkers are also valid markers of low level environmental exposure to PAHs. Thirty five studies were identified with more than 10 subjects that evaluated environmental air pollution to PAHs in relatio...
متن کاملParabens as Urinary Biomarkers of Exposure in Humans
BACKGROUND Parabens appear frequently as antimicrobial preservatives in cosmetic products, in pharmaceuticals, and in food and beverage processing. In vivo and in vitro studies have revealed weak estrogenic activity of some parabens. Widespread use has raised concerns about the potential human health risks associated with paraben exposure. OBJECTIVES Assessing human exposure to parabens usual...
متن کاملBiomarkers of environmental benzene exposure.
Environmental exposures to benzene result in increases in body burden that are reflected in various biomarkers of exposure, including benzene in exhaled breath, benzene in blood and urinary trans-trans-muconic acid and S-phenylmercapturic acid. A review of the literature indicates that these biomarkers can be used to distinguish populations with different levels of exposure (such as smokers fro...
متن کاملUrinary Biomarkers as Exposure Surrogates: Controlling for Possible Bias
Biomonitoring, or measuring levels of contaminants and their metabolites in human biological samples, can tell researchers a good deal about the environmental agents to which populations are exposed. This information can help identify human health risks associated with environmental exposures, but the accuracy of conclusions hinges on the correct interpretation of the data. A new study in EHP h...
