“…The levels of VOCs, such as BTEX in fuel vapor, have been measured both in the working environment and in the biological fluids of the gasoline station attendants in various countries, and some of these measured values have exceeded the limit values recommended by American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) (Bahrami et al, 2007; Raghavan and Basavaiah 2005; Scheepers et al, 2019; Soltanpour et al, 2021). Several studies have detected higher levels of metabolites of these hydrocarbons, such as trans trans-muconic acid (t,t-MA), in blood or urine samples of these workers than in controls (Bahrami et al, 2007; Costa et al, 2016; Geraldino et al, 2021; Hassan et al, 2013). On the other hand, chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei, and DNA strand breaks, which are biomarkers of early biological effects, are used to detect a later stage of carcinogenesis than the stage determined by exposure biomarkers mentioned above (Moller, 2006).…”
