[Fumigation of soil and food: assessment of occupational exposure to methyl bromide].
Innovative procedures were developed for the biological monitoring of workers exposed to methyl bromide, through the determination of biomarkers of exposure, such as bromide in serum, and of biomarkers of the biologically effective dose, such as haemoglobin adducts. The effectiveness of the developed techniques for the biological monitoring was tested through the analysis of blood samples from workers employed in soil fumigation.
