Título: Exposure of iron foundry workers to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : benzo pyrene-albumin adducts and 1-hydroxypyrene as biomarkers for exposure / O. Omland... [et al.]
Notas: Sumario: Increased risk of lung cancer has been shown to occur in several studies of iron foundry workers. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may be an aetiological factor. Exposure to carcinogenic chemicals can be evaluated by measuring covalent binding with macromolecular targets, DNA, and proteins. As target tissue is not ussually available several surrogate materials have been studied. 1-Hydroxypyrene, a urinary metabolite of pyrene, has recnetly been used as to monitor PAH exposure in humansRegistros relacionados: En: Occupational and environmental medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 8, August 1994 ; p. 513-518Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Fundición Hierro Sustancias químicas Enfermedades pulmonares Cáncer Hidrocarburo aromático policíclico Otros autores: Omland, O.
