Biological markers of exposure to organophosphorus nerve agents
Archives of Toxicology, 2013Organophosphorus nerve agents are the most toxic chemical warfare agents that are known to have been produced, stockpiled and weaponised. Their development, production, stockpiling and use are prohibited under the terms of the Chemical Weapons Convention and, together with their precursors, are subject to strict controls and verification procedures ...

Aerobiology and Inhalation Exposure to Biological Select Agents and Toxins
Veterinary Pathology, 2010Aerosol is the most likely route of dissemination of biological select agents and toxins in a bioterrorist attack, regardless of the natural route of exposure to the agent. The use of animal models for testing preventative and therapeutic countermeasures requires knowledge of the pathogenesis of disease after inhalation exposure.

Biological considerations in assessing exposures to genotoxic and carcinogenic agents
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1993This analysis of the relationship between long-term exposure to carcinogens and the risk of cancer relies upon a model which depicts exposure, burden and genetic damage as time series. It is shown that the dose of the carcinogen and the resulting damage to susceptible tissues can be related to cumulative exposure provided that linear kinetics are ...

Molecular biology methods in assessing occupational exposure to harmful biological agents
Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy, 2017All employers are responsible for ensuring safe working conditions for employees in their workplace. It is necessary to accurately identify and eliminate all hazards that are possible to remove and to ensure proper collective and personal protective measures. Among occupational hazards, biological agents are one of the most important.

Urinary mercapturic acid excretion as a biological parameter of exposure to alkylating agents
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1977Mercapturic acid derivatives or other thioethers can be considered as the endproducts of the metabolic detoxification of possibly alkylating agents. It is proposed that the appearance of these metabolites in the urine can be used as an indicator of exposure of the organism to such toxic compounds.

Belief in Exposure to Chemical and Biological Agents in Persian Gulf War Soldiers
Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease, 2008This is the first longitudinal cohort study of Persian Gulf War US soldiers to examine belief in exposure to chemical and biological weapons before and shortly after combat. A longitudinal sample of n = 1250 male Persian Gulf War US Army soldiers were surveyed 3 to 4 months before and 6 to 10 months after the 1991 War.

37 Functional Requirements to Develop a new Risk Assessment Model for Exposure to Biological Agents
Annals of Work Exposures and Health, 2023Abstract Within Occupational Risk Prevention, the assessment of risks due to exposure to biological agents has received little attention compared to risks such as those arising from chemicals. This was the case until the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of health effects related to exposure to biological agents ...

[Biological markers of exposure to toxic agents].
Revue d'epidemiologie et de sante publique, 1986Exposure to chemical agents may be assessed either qualitatively or semi-quantitatively with the help of a questionnaire (type of exposure and duration) or quantitatively either by the measurement of the concentration of the xenobiotics in the environment (ambient monitoring) or by the measurement of biological parameters related to the internal doses (
