title: [Evaluation of various biochemical parameters in the urine and blood of painters in the carpentry business].
abstract: The work has been aimed at investigating the effects of organic solvent-toluene-upon the painters of the Building Joinery Factory. Studies carried out during 1978-1980 showed an increased level of toluene metabolite (hippuric acid) in painters' urine, as compared to the environmental control group. The highest level of hippuric acid in painters' urine was found in the first period (first six months) of their job. This was not related to an increase in toluene vapours at the workplace. In painters' blood some irregular and rather small modifications of enzymatic activity were exhibited.
