Abstract

Exposure to low doses of benzene: biological monitoring exposure in a group of occupational exposed workers and a group of general population. Even if exposure to benzene is considerably decreased in last years, the interest for this cercinogenic agent is still important. Benzene is used as additive in gasoline and it is present in cigarette smoke. Therefore benzene is considered an important toxic agent not only for occupational exposed people, but also for general population, in particular if living in high polluted areas. Aim of the present study is evaluation of trans, trans-muconic acid in urine of workers exposed to benzene and in the general population, making a distinction between subjects living in an urban centre and subjects living in rural areas. Each subject was invited to complete a questionnaire about job, diet, residence, hobbies and tobacco-smoking. Every one was submit to a physical examination, exams as ECG, audiometry, spirometry and laboratory test to investigate about blood count, liver and kidney function. It was used as biological exposure index the urinary trans, trans-muconic acid (t,t-MA).
