Environmental monitoring and biomarkers of exposure to styrene in chemical indu...

Biomarkers of exposure to chemicals, such as styrene, allow estimating the exposure to a particular compound by measuring the compound or it(s) metabolite(s) in body fluids. An example is the determination of mandelic acid and phenylglyoxylic acid in urine. Indicators of genotoxicity are categorized as: (a) DNA and protein adducts; (b) DNA strand breaks. Styrene metabolism is initiated by Cytochrome P450 enzyme...
