Reviews

Readers will learn through reading this book how DFG sets up biological exposure limits for industrial chemicals in general. (International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, October 2007) This volume is a must for those who use or plan to use biological monitoring in a total program of workplace exposure assessment. The introductory chapters on the BAT, BLW and EKA are particularly valuable...The book should be on the reference shelf of any occupational health professional. Int. Arch.Occup. Environ .Health.
