Urinary thioether output as an index of occupational chemical exposure in petroleum retailers.
Petroleum is a complex mixture of lipophilic chemicals, some of which are likely to be substrates for the microsomal mixed function oxygenases. Petroleum retailers, by virtue of their occupational exposure potential, are a group likely to receive relatively heavy exposure to petroleum products in comparison with the general public. Urinary thioether output may provide a simple, non-invasive tec...
متن کاملUrinary thioether of employees of a chemical plant.
The thiols in the morning urine of 224 employees of a chemical plant were determined after alkaline hydrolysis of all urinary thioethers. The highest thioether excretion was found in rubber workers and radial tyre builders in comparison with clerks, plastic monomer mixers and footwear preparers. Smoking and medication tended to increase thioether excretion. Urinary thioether determination may p...

متن کاملHemolytic Anemia as an Outcome of Occupational Exposure to Formalin: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background: Occupational exposure studies indicate that formaldehyde exposure causes temporary and consistent effects on industrial workers exposed to formalin. Case: The case was a 36-year-old man who had developed intravascular hemolytic anemia caused by formalin after inhalation exposure. Formalin is a clear solution of 37% formaldehyde in water. The primary route of exposure to f...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative risk assessment of occupational exposure area industrial wastewater Treatment unit in an oil refinery and chemical contaminants
Background and aims: The chemical pollution in industries has make an unacceptable risk for the human health. For the risk assessment of the human exposure, it is necessary to be considered the material dangers based on the consumption rate, dose, toxic properties, and evaluation of potential effects on the human health. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the semi-quantitative risk ...
