The UK Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) provides research and analytical support to the Health and Safety Executive, other Government Departments and employers. In the area of biomonitoring HSL conducts research studies and provides an analytical service for regular surveillance
This is a follow up survey of exposure to 4,4'-methylene-bis(2-chloroaniline) (MbOCA) and isocyanates in the UK polyurethane industry. Urine samples (n=446) were collected from 90 different workers. MbOCA levels were below the limit of detection in 170 samples and 26

Rats were treated with acetone, pyrazole, phenobarbital, 4,4'-methylenebis-(2-chloroaniline) (MOCA), 3-methylcholanthrene, creosote oil, or a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1254) to study the inducibility and enzyme kinetics of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases towards 1-hydroxypyrene, which is a human metabolite and a urinary biomarker

Oxidative DNA damage may play an important role in the human carcinogenic process. Recently, we reported a case of bladder cancer among 4, 4'-methylenebis (2-chloroaniline) (MBOCA)-exposed workers. By measuring the plasma level of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), we investigated the association between
