  • Hospital waste incinerating workers are exposed to various pyrolysis products including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PARs). We evaluated their exposure by assessing urinary 1-hydroxypyrene glucuronide (1-OHPG), as internal dose of PAH exposure. The potential effect of genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1/T1 involved in PAH metabolisms was also investigated.(omitted)
