| Resumen |
The relative worth of assessing arsenic in blood, urine, hair and nails as a measure of occupational exposure is examined. Blood levels of arsenic decline too rapidly to be useful for monitoring workers. Hair arsenic analysis may be useful on a group basis as screening device for arsenic in the environment; nail analysis has not proven useful for this type of screening. If recent seafood intake is excluded, urine is the most appropriate body fluid for evaluating worker exposure to arsenic. Because epidemiological evidence indicates that arsenic should be treated as a carcinogen; medical surveillance programmes should be developed accordingly. |
