    Tugas I - Occupational and Industrial Toxicology

    Uploaded by

    Rizky Adrian
    Occupational toxicology is the study of adverse effects that workers may encounter through their employment. It considers effects on workers, experimental animals, and test systems used to understand toxicity. The term is preferred over "industrial" to include diverse occupations like farming and office work. Occupational toxicology is important for recognizing workplace health issues and protecting workers. It helps set exposure standards and guide decision making through monitoring chemical exposure levels. While similar, occupational toxicology has a broader scope than industrial toxicology which only considers factory work environments.

    OCC UPAT ION AL AND INDSUT RIAL TOX IC OL OGY

    Occupational toxicology is the study of the adverse effects of agents


    that may be encountered by workers during the course of their
    employment. The adverse effects may be in the workers themselves, or
    in experimental animals, or other test systems used to define or
    understand the toxicity of agent of interest.

    The term " occupational " is used in preferences to " industrial "
    because the latter may have connotation of chemical exposure in
    factories, this would not necessarily include work such farming, with
    potential exposures to pesticides or office work, with issues such as
    photocopiers in eclosed spaces ( Winder and Stacey, 2004 ).

    WHY IS OCCUPATIONAL
    TOXICOLOGY REQUIRED ?

    There is considerable public awarness of the health effects of


    chemicals due to events such as the thalidomide tragedy and
    environmental contamination with chemicals.

    Recognition of workplace exposures resulting in health effects

    Solution to protect the health of workers

    • Role in setting exposure standards for workplace chemicals

    • Role in biological monitoring for chemical exposure

    Role in setting exposure standards for workplace chemicals

    • NEL ( No Effect Level )

    • NOEL ( No Observed Effect Level )

    • NOAEL ( No Observed Adverse Effect Level )

    Role in biological
    monitoring for chemical
    exposure
    Biological monitoring is the measurement of a substances, its
    metabolites, or its effects in body tissues, fluid or exhaled air of
    exposed persons.

    While biological monitoring itself is not a preventive measure,


    consideration of biological monitoring is an interesting excersise
    because it is a topic that clearly exemplifes the interdiciplinary nature
    of protecting workers from deleterious effects of exposure to chemcials
    ( Winder and Stacey, 2004 ).

    Occupational toxicology is more comprehensive, such as : Greenberg et al ( 1997 ) explained that industrial toxicology is
    study about toxicology that only occurs in factory work, such
    • Farmers
    as :
    • Mechanics
    - Mining Industries : ex. Underground coal mining
    • Food Preparation Personnel
    - Petroleum Industries
    • Athletes
    - Furniture Industries
