Results of phenol determinations in urine of the workers of petrochemical combine in Płock have been statistically compared over 10 years. Besides this reaction has been checked in other plants and even in non--exposed persons. Phenol content in urine has been found to increase from year to year, despite very low benzene and phenol concentrations on the work--posts. This trend is also apparent in other plants. Considerations of the nature of the reaction lead to the conclusion that the phenol test informs about a total exposure to hydrocarbons of benzene ring, which metabolize to simple phenols. The authors suggest allowable safe values (65 mg/l) and limit values (about 200 mg/l) of these concentrations.
对普沃茨克石化联合企业工人尿液中的苯酚含量测定结果进行了为期10年的统计比较。此外，还在其他工厂甚至未接触者中进行了此项反应检查。尽管工作岗位上的苯和苯酚浓度非常低，但尿液中的苯酚含量却逐年增加。这种趋势在其他工厂也很明显。对该反应性质的思考得出结论，苯酚检测反映的是对苯环烃类的总体暴露情况，这些烃类会代谢为简单酚类。作者提出了这些浓度的允许安全值（65毫克/升）和极限值（约200毫克/升）。
