We recommend measuring
toluene in urine. This is more specific than the o-cresol
biomarker (which has raised background levels and can be confounded
by exposure to o-cresol). We are confident that measuring
toluene in urine is more appropriate for assessing
compliance with lower toluene exposures; there is an American
guidance value to aid interpretation.
As toluene is a volatile
solvent, please ensure that the sample bottle is filled to the
shoulder (but not more) to ensure no losses during transport and
storage. As toluene itself is measured, please ensure that
contamination of the sample is avoided (remove overalls, wash hands
before providing a sample).
