Abstract excerpt
Urinary hippuric acid (HA) has been widely used as a biological marker of occupational exposure to toluene, although it is no longer valid for low levels of toluene exposure. Toluene exposure is known to induce oxidative DNA damage and the metabolism is affected by genetic polymorphisms of some metabolizing enzymes. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms of these metabolizing enzymes must be considered in the...
