    Author: Bieniek G, Cisowska G, Lusiak T, Siwek A.
    Journal: Med Pr; 1993; 44(6):579-86. PubMed ID: 8107574.
    Abstract:
    Sixty two workers of a coke-chemical plant exposed to benzene, naphthalene, toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene, phenol and pyridine were examined. In urine samples collected before and after occupational exposure significant differences in concentration values of phenol (21.1-97.6 mg/l), 1--naphthol (0.1-9.38 mg/l), hippuric acid (95.5-873.9 mg/l) and m-methylhippuric acid (29.0-93.5 mg/l) were found. There was correlation between benzene and naphthalene in the breathing zone air and phenol and 1-naphthol in the urine of coke plant workers.
