Essential BAT Value Documentations: from The MAK-Collection for Occupational Health and Safety |
| Editor: Hans Drexler (Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area, Erlangen, Germany); Editor: Helmut Greim (Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area, Freising, Germany) |
| All volumes of the MAK-Collection provide comprehensive and authoritative information for occupational health and safety professionals and researchers. They cover both the toxicological substantiation of threshold values for chemicals at the workplace (MAK and BAT values) and the suitable monitoring methods. Thus, they are an indispensable tool for maintaining occupational health and safety. For more than 20 of the most important occupational toxicants, the documentations for the established BAT values (Biological Tolerance Values) and EKA (Exposure Equivalents for Carcinogenic Substances) as well as for further biological exposure values were selected for this special volume. These include an authoritative review of the available toxicological studies and data. For every substance, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, critical toxicity, exposure and effects, suitable indicators of internal exposure, the evaluation of the BAT value and the correct interpretation of data are described. Basic physico-chemical data are provided as well. The documentations are thus not only essential for the application of BAT and EKA values but provide a concise overview of biological monitoring for each substance. The documentations are authoritative, because they were compiled by the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area. The Commission is internationally acknowledged for its neutrality and is working strictly according to transparent, scientific criteria. BAT Values set the standards for legal regulations in many countries of the world.
