Abstract
Urinary excretion rates of β2‐microglobulin and albumin were measured in 43 male printing trade workers and 43 age‐matched male controls before and during exposure to toluene, 382 mg/m3, for 61/2 hours in a climate chamber. There were no significant changes in renal excretion rates of albumin and β2‐microglobulin during toluene exposure indicating that no causal relationship exists between moderate exposure to organic solvents and renal injury.
