TY - JOUR T1 - Current trends in the biological monitoring of exposure to carcinogens. JO - Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health PY - 1985/2VL - 11 IS - 1 SP - 1 EP - 6 AU - Vainio, Harri M3 - doi: 10.5271/sjweh.2260 UR - https://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=2260 N2 -

The biological monitoring of exposure to carcinogens and mutagens has gained a lot of research interest recently. Biological monitoring data, in conjunction with environmental monitoring data, will provide information for the needed exposure assessment for directing preventive actions. For the reviewed carcinogens aromatic amines, benzene, ethylene oxide, aflatoxins, N-nitroso compounds, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and alkylating anticancer drugs, there are methods which are already routine in practice, whereas some promising methods are still used only for research purposes.
