[Environmental and occupational exposure to benzene by investigation of expiratory benzene].
In this paper, expiratory benzene due to environmental and occupational benzene exposure during the work-shift and the morning after was studied by the analysing benzene concentrations in environmental air, in breathing air and in urinary phenol concentration. The results showed that the concentrations of expiratory benzene and urinary phenol correlated significantly with exposure to benzene. It is suggested that the expiratory benzene is a good indicator in biomonitoring of workers exposed to benzene.
