TL;DR: A tolerable daily intake (TDI) for molybdenum based on a toxicological risk analysis approach was conducted, and effects of Mo on reproduction and foetal development were found to be critical effects observed in rats and mice.

TL;DR: This paper provides guidance on methods for conveying information to the general public, the health care community, regulators and other interested parties regarding how chemical-specific BEs are derived, what they mean in terms of health, and the challenges and questions related to interpretation and communication of biomonitoring data.

TL;DR: The present review is aimed to represent the state of the art on biological monitoring in occupational risk assessment and to help preventing misuse and misinterpretation of data.

TL;DR: A simple equation was developed to establish BEIs for workers exposed to PAHs in different work environments by using a BEI already established for a given work environment and introducing a correction factor corresponding to the ratio of the airborne concentration of the sum of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) equivalent to that of pyrene.

TL;DR: It appears that the substantially high concentrations of the studied contaminants constitute a potential health hazard to the rural population of Burundi.
