Mak Collection for Occupational Health and Safety Biomonitoring Methods

All volumes of the MAK-Collection provide comprehensive and authoritative information for occupational health and safety professionals and researchers. they cover both the toxicological substantiation of threshold values for chemicals at the workplace (MAK and BAT values) and the suitable monitoring methods. Thus, they are an indispensable tool for maintaining occupational health and safety. Here, detailed, ready-to-use protocols for human biomonitoring methods are provided, which were developed to monitor Concentrations of occupational toxicants. They can also be used for environmental monitoring. All methods are reliable, reproducible, in accordance with 'Good Laboratory Practice' standards and cover all required steps from sampling to the interpretation of results with respect to relevant biological exposure values. This includes data on precision, accuracy, and detection limit, calibration procedures as well as potential sources of systematic errors. The documented methods are authoritative, because they were compiled by the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area. The Commission is internationally acknowledged for its neutrality and is working strictly according to transparent, scientific criteria.Angerer, Jürgen is the author of 'Mak Collection for Occupational Health and Safety Biomonitoring Methods', published 2008 under ISBN 9783527315963 and ISBN 3527315969.
