Epidemiologic studies of potential health effects resulting from exposure to one or multiple pesticides are strengthened by the use of biological markers, such as internal dose markers, to more accurately classify individual exposures. Additionally, measures of internal body dose are also useful to establish guidelines for field reentry and protective clothing or practices, and to enable early detection of exposure circumstances in worker safety programs. This chapter explores the concepts of exposure biomarkers, focusing on their past and potential application to studies of pesticide exposures. |
