Biological Indicators for the Assessment of Human Exposure to Industrial Chemicals (from Aldrin to Vanadium)

THE BIOLOGICAL MONITORING IS ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING TOOLS FOR PERFORMING AN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM OF PREVENTION FROM THE POTENTIALLY TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHE- MICALS IN OCCUPATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. ITS MOST INTERESTING FEATURE CONSISTS IN THE POSSIBILITY OF PREDICTING TOXICOLOGICAL DISEASES AT A VERY EARLY STAGE BY MEANS OF MEASUREMENT OF INDICATORS OF DOSE AND EFFECTS. FOR INDUSTRIAL CHE- MICALS SUCH AS MERCURY, ALKYL LEAD, DMF AND PERSTICIDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF INDICATORS IS GIVEN. THE LIMITATION AND DIFFI- CULTIES INHERENT BIOLOGICAL MONITORING ARE ANALYZED, INDICATING THE GOAL FOR FURTHER RESEARCH IN THIS FIELD
