Abstract/Summary
|
-
The German Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has re-evaluated 2-naphthylamine [91-59-8], considering 2-naphthylamine in urine to characterise the internal exposure. Since the last evaluation of 2-naphthylamine, some new work has been published on the urinary excretion of 2-naphthylamine in occupationally non-exposed smokers and non-smokers. The literature added since the last evaluation also shows a heterogeneous data situation. Overall, the data situation on background exposure of occupationally non-exposed persons appears to be too heterogeneous and thus insufficient to evaluate a biological reference value (BAR) for 2-naphthylamine based on urinary excretion.
