  • Title: Urban air and tobacco smoke in benzene exposure in a cohort of traffic policemen.
    Author: Bono R, Traversi D, Maestri L, Schilirò T, Ghittori S, Baiocchi C, Gilli G.
    Journal: Chem Biol Interact; 2005 May 30; 153-154():239-42. PubMed ID: 15935820.
    Abstract:
    Benzene (B) is a typical micro-pollutant present in air, especially urban air. In this study a possible correlation between personal benzene exposure and S-phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA) as a biomarker of internal dose was evaluated in a cohort of traffic policemen. The results confirm that S-PMA is significantly correlated to benzene measured in personal air. B and S-PMA were analyzed considering seasonality, work quarters, time spent indoors, outdoors, and directing traffic, but no significant differences were recorded.
