benzene in humans may not be restricted to the liver. Sites<br />

and processes of metabolism merit further investigation.<br />

Additional Comments: PBPK modeling of benzene exposure<br />

predicts measurements of exhaled breath following<br />

occupational exposure with reasonable accuracy. However,<br />

prediction of concentration of phenol in urine is much less<br />

accurate. Further work is needed to confirm modeling<br />

systems for lower levels of exposure and for other<br />

biological monitoring indices, such as the currently<br />

indicators, S–phenylmercapturic acid or t–t–muconic acid in<br />

the urine. Further refinements in modeling may also improve<br />

accuracy. The PBPK model also has a skin absorption<br />

compartment that allows for the assessing possible<br />

contribution of dermal exposure to the total uptake.<br />

Type: other: Analysis of S–phenyl–L–cysteine in globin as a marker<br />

of benzene exposure.<br />

Remark: An assay has been developed to det. S–phenylcysteine (SPC)<br />

in globin as a potential biomarker for exposure to benzene.<br />

The sensitivity of the assay is
