Evaluation of thiodiglycolic acid as a urinary biomarker for exposure to vinyl chloride monomer: Development and analytical validation of a colorimetric method based on metal-organic frameworks.
Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) is an industrial contaminant and carcinogen classified in IARC group 1. Chronic exposure to VCM may lead to serious health problems. Thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA) acts as a biomarker for exposure to VCM; hence, its quantitative estimation in urine provides precise information about exposure le...
