| Abstract |
Biological exposure indices of the most widespread organic solvents, namely, toluene, xylene, styrene, benzene and ethylbenzene are provided. For each of these hydrocarbons, professional exposure sources, absorption pathways, metabolism and excretion are shown, besides the most common dose and effect indexes adopted in biological monitoring. Possible criteria of choice of listed indices together with their limitations of use are also presented. For each solvent, chemical/physical characteristics and analytical methods for their determination in biological fluids are fully described and reported. |
