Abstract excerpt
The environmental and biological monitoring of benzene exposure is crucial to prevent the toxic effects of this solvent in workers. The degree of correlation, however, between the two and of different biomarkers among them varies, particularly at low levels of exposure, depending on various factors, including variability in metabolizing enzymes and smoking habits. To investigate these further, a cohort of 28...
