What are the Methods of Toxicological Surveillance?
Several methods are employed to monitor and manage toxicological risks in the workplace:
Biomonitoring: Analyzing biological samples (e.g., blood, urine) to detect the presence of toxic substances and their metabolites. Environmental Monitoring: Sampling air, water, and surfaces to measure the concentration of hazardous substances in the workplace environment. Medical Surveillance: Regular health check-ups, including lung function tests, liver function tests, and other relevant medical examinations. Exposure Modelling: Using mathematical models to estimate workers' exposure levels based on various factors, such as duration and frequency of exposure.
