Description
For more than 30 of the most important occupational toxicants, detailed, ready-to-use protocols for human biomonitoring methods are provided. All methods are reliable, reproducible, in accordance with 'Good Laboratory Practice' standards and cover all required steps from sampling to the interpretation of results. This includes data on precision, accuracy, and detection limit, calibration procedures as well as potential sources of systematic errors.
The documented methods are authoritative, because they were compiled by the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area. The Commission is internationally acknowledged for its neutrality and is working strictly according to transparent, scientific criteria.
