Fluorene is one of the most abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in air and may contribute to the neurobehavioral alterations induced by the environmental exposure of humans to PAHs. Since no data are available on fluorene neurotoxicity…
Toluene is widely used in industry, with an annual consumption close to 20 million tons. Occupational exposure to toluene is commonly assessed using hippuric acid and ortho-cresol despite their low specificity and poor sensitivity. Levels…
Among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), fluorene is a highly volatile compoundbeing one of the most abundant in air. Because significant fluorene concentrations have been measured in the breast milk of non-smoking women, the risk for…

1. Toluene (TOL) is a CMR solvent which is metabolized via the glutathione pathway, producing benzylmercapturic, o-, m- and p-toluylmercapturic acids (MAs). These metabolites could be useful as biomarkers of TOL exposure.
2. The aims of this work were…
