Résumé : |
The method most commonly used to assess industrial Cr exposure is to calculate a time-weighted average to total Cr and hexavalent Cr in air. Biological monitoring is seldom performed routinely because of the difficulties with the collection and analysis of tissues and fluids for Cr. Urinary Cr and urinary Cr creatinine ratios have been most extensively investigated by researchers as potential biological indices of exposure to hexavalent Cr, and more recently, trivalent Cr. Results indicate that urinary Cr creatinine ratios on spot urine samples collected post shift provide an acute index of industrial Cr exposure. Corresponding values on basal spot urine samples reflect body burden of Cr in both welders and chrome plate workers exposed to Cr III. Data on the use of whole blood, serum, red blood cells or hair are more limited. Recent work suggests that serum Cr levels may also be an index of body burden of Cr for workers exposed to Cr VI and Cr III while red blood cell Cr may be specific to long-term exposure to Cr VI. Hair is a biopsy material which is more easily collected and analyzed for Cr exposure warrants further investigation. |
