Biological Monitoring: Evidence for Reductions in Occupational Exposure and Risk

Abstract: Aims: The aim of this publication is to explore occupational exposure trends from biological monitoring data collected over a period of more than 20 years. The data is stored within the HSE database, which holds more than 950,000 results from 120,000 workers in 8,000 companies. The data were collated for all biological monitoring results for lead, mercury, benzene, and hexamethylene diisocyanate exposures where there have been some regulatory drivers within the reported time period of the data searched.Methods… Show more

“…On the contrary, the production has increased in other industries where workers can be exposed to mercury, such as waste and recycling or companies involved with contaminated land and bioremediation. Attempts to diminish the risk of worker exposure to mercury have made the Hg levels in workers' urine in the UK decrease from 90% (P90) of 24.7 µmol/mol creatinine in 1997 to 2.1 µmol/mol creatinine in 2019, as it has been studied by Morton et al [28].…”
