TL;DR: It is suggested that EDB may increase the risk of reproductive impairment in workers at exposure levels near the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommended limit of 45 ppb and far below the current standard of the Occupational safety and Health Administration of 20 ppm.

TL;DR: There may be an effect of 2EE on sperm count among men exposed to 2EE used as a binder slurry in a metal castings process, although the possibility that other factors may be affecting the semen quality in both exposed and unexposed men in this population cannot be excluded.

TL;DR: To test whether exposure to low levels of EDB over long periods caused cytogenetic changes, the frequencies of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosomal aberrations (CA) in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 60 men occupationally exposed to EDB are assessed.

TL;DR: Biological monitoring of the urine MBOCA concentrations in exposed workers may miss peak levels following an acute exposure unless the analyses of the urinaryMBOCA are performed in a timely fashion, according to the first report of kinetic analysis on urinary MB OCA excretion in humans.

TL;DR: It became apparent, from the data and observations of work practices, that air monitoring alone provided an inadequate index of GE exposure and further field studies of exposure to GE are anticipated, pending location of additional groups of exposed workers and development of more reliable methods for characterizing exposure, especially biological monitoring.
