BACKGROUND
The safety of healthcare workers exposed to formaldehyde remains a great matter of concern for healthcare management units. This work aimed at describing the results of a combined monitoring approach (environmental and biological) to manage occupational exposure to formaldehyde in a hospital setting.
DESIGN AND METHODS
Environmental monitoring of working spaces and biological monitoring of urinary formaldehyde in 16 exposed healthcare workers of the Anatomic Pathology Unit of a University Hospital in Southern Italy was performed on a four-year timescale (2016-2019).
RESULTS
Values of aero-dispersed formaldehyde identified were on average low; although workers' urinary formaldehyde levels were also minimal, the statistical analysis highlighted a slight weekly accumulation.
CONCLUSIONS
Our data confirm that both environmental and biological monitoring are important to identify risk situations, in particular when values of hazardous compounds are below the accepted occupational exposure levels.
背景
接触甲醛的医护人员的安全仍是医疗管理单位极为关注的问题。这项工作旨在描述一种联合监测方法（环境监测和生物监测）在医院环境中管理职业性甲醛暴露的结果。
设计与方法
对意大利南部一家大学医院解剖病理科的16名暴露于甲醛的医护人员，在四年时间跨度（2016 - 2019年）内进行了工作场所的环境监测和尿中甲醛的生物监测。
结果
所检测到的空气中分散甲醛的值平均较低；尽管工作人员尿中甲醛水平也很低，但统计分析突出显示有轻微的每周累积情况。
结论
我们的数据证实，环境监测和生物监测对于识别风险状况都很重要，特别是当有害化合物的值低于公认的职业暴露水平时。
