Abstract

Until now no urinary biomarker of exposure was available to assess human exposure to epichlorohydrin (ECH). For this purpose the urinary excretion of mercapturic acids and α-chlorohydrin (α-CH), which are potential metabolites of ECH in humans was investigated. This study was undertaken in a chemical plant in which ECH is used in the production of glycidyl ethers. Urine samples were collected from 19 persons at the beginning and at the end of work-shifts and at the morning after the last work-shift. Respiratory air concentrations of ECH were determined by personal air monitoring (PAM) and were found to range from < 0.03 to 1.1 mg/m
