Abstract:Estimates of occupational exposure to chemical carcinogens in biomedical research based on environmental monitoring data, efficiency of containment devices, and accident data suggest that workers may be exposed to a few tenths of a microgram of these carcinogens per work day. Environmental exposure to carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and N-nitroso compounds exceeds one microgram per day. Because occupational exposure to chemical carcinogens in the laboratory can be readily controlled and because e… Show more
