Synopsis

The term BAT value describes the greatest permissible quantity of a working material in human biological media. BAT values are derived by monitoring the absorbed concentration of an occupational toxicant in body fluids and by the subsequent determination of a limit at which mo more adverse effects to the worker's health are observed. Therefore BAT values protect the individual against chemically caused diseases; they are required for medical health surveillance.

This is the first Volume in a series of industrial
health/toxicological justifications of BAT values. It is a necessary supplement to the 'Occupational Toxicants' which document and justify the limit setting process of MAK values (maximum concentrations at the workplace). 51 BAT values for 35 substances or groups of substances have been evaluated.

From the Publisher

The first volume in this series on occupational toxicants for industrial medicine contains the reasons which have lead to the establishment of 51 BAT values (biological tolerance values for working materials). The second volume provides the scientific reasons why 12 important BAT Values were established at a particular level. Further documentation for 10 carcinogens is also given.
