The excretion of thioethers was determined in the urine of workers involved in road paving operations and in the preparation of asphalt mixing in an asphalt plant. An occupationally nonexposed group served as control. From the results it was observed that there was no significant difference in urina

Biological monitoring of exposure to bitumen fumes during road-paving operations was carried out In order to evaluate the biological uptake of the workers, the nonselective urinary thioether assay and a selective method for the determination of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene were used Urinary thioether dat
Homovanillic acid, an end product of dopamine catabolism, and manganese (Mn) were measured in the urine of 68 male workers exposed to Mn-containing dust in a dry alkaline battery plant or an Mn oxide and salt producing plant, and in 35 control male subjects.

Styrene is an important chemical of wide industrial use, particularly in the manufacture of polymers and reinforced plastics. Environmental and occupational exposures to styrene occur predominantly via inhalation. Styrene undergoes biotransformation mainly by side chain oxidation catalyzed by cytoch
