Description

Detailed, ready-to-use protocols for human biomonitoring methods, are provided here, which were developed to monitor concentrations of occupational toxicants, yet can be equally used for environmental monitoring. Examples are new methods for the determination of organophosphates or musk compounds in blood. All the methods are reliable, reproducible, adhere to Good Laboratory Practice standards and cover all the required steps from sampling to the interpretation of results with respect to relevant biological exposure values. This includes data on precision, accuracy, and detection limit, calibration procedures as well as potential sources of systematic errors.

About the author

Andrea Hartwig leitet seit 2010 die Abteilung Lebensmittelchemie und Toxikologie am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT). Sie habilitierte sich nach Forschungsaufenthalten in den USA und den Niederlanden 1996 für das Fach Biochemie. Von 1998 bis 2004 war sie Professorin für Lebensmittelchemie an der Universität Karlsruhe und von 2004 bis 2010 an der Technischen Universität Berlin. Aktuelle Forschungsgebiete sind die Aufklärung von Wirkungsmechanismen essentieller Spurenelemente und kanzerogener Metallverbindungen sowie die toxikologische Bewertung von Lebensmittelinhaltsstoffen und Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln. Darüber hinaus ist sie seit 2007 Vorsitzende der DFG-Senatskommission zur Prüfung gesundheitsschädlicher Arbeitsstoffe (MAK-Kommission) sowie Mitglied im "Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits" (SCOEL) der europäischen Kommission.
