OBJECTIVES: In occupational medicine, blood concentrations are often measured to judge the internal burden of workers at work-place during exposure to a potentially hazardous substance. However, blood-withdrawals are invasive and can often not be taken at work-place due to hygienic reasons. Sampling of saliva is non-invasive and easy to perform even at workplace. In order to substitute blood analysis, analysis of saliva has to be as specific and sensitive as blood investigations. Therefore acetone-concentrations in blood and in saliva during exposure to isopropanol were compared.
METHODS: 18 healthy non-smokers were exposed to 360 ppm isopropanol in an exposure chamber over 4 h. Once an hour during exposure and 30 min after, blood and saliva were sampled. Saliva was collected by a cotton plug over 10 minutes and stored in an airtight closed headspace tube. Concentrations of the metabolite acetone were measured by gas chromatography. -
RESULTS: The concentrations of acetone in blood and saliva rose continually during exposure and dropped after exposure-cessation. High correlations between concentrations of acetone in blood and saliva were found for each individual and the entire group (entire group: r = 0.8568, p <0.0001, y = 0.8374x - 0.4404).
CONCLUSIONS: Acetone-measurement in saliva is a non-invasive, easily conductable and reliable method for estimating the internal burden of isopropanol-exposure. Further studies for the standardization and validation are necessary to impose a threshold limit value on work-place isopropanol-exposure.
