What is the Role of NATs in Environmental and Occupational Toxicology?
NATs also play a role in environmental and occupational toxicology. Workers exposed to aromatic amines and hydrazines in industries such as rubber manufacturing and dye production may have varying risks of developing health issues based on their NAT2 acetylator status. Understanding an individual's NAT genotype can help in assessing their susceptibility to these occupational hazards.
