Pearson's correlation evaluated the correlation of ethylbenzene concentration in the working emironment with ethylbenzene's metabolite in urine Results: The average ethylbenzene and styrene concentrations in the working environment was 49.58 ± 34.67mg/m\ and 1.13 ± 0.97 mg/mJ respectively (within the permissible limit) The individual ethylbenzene concentration (8 hours) in the Mixing group was 99.77 ± 62.72 mg m' and in the Quality Control and Packing group was 19.58 ± 17.0" mg'n? The average concentration of urinary MA and PGA were 77.21 - 75.I8mg.'g creatinine and 46.58 = 51 "6mg/g creatinine respectively The total axeiage concentration of MA - PGA was 123.08s 101.83nig’g creatinine Correlation coefficient between ethylbenzene concentration and the total concentration of MA and PGA in tire urine was 0.82 Conclusion: The maximum concentration of ethylbenzene and sty rene at research ốcỉliões was within the- permissible limit- The average total concentration of MA and PGA in the three companies were within the permissible limit according to ACGIH Tliere is a strong correlahcn between ethylbenzene exposure and the metabolite in the urinaryi.MA and PGA) (r - 0.82) Key words: MA PGa Ethylbezene Ethylbenzene-exposed Styrene 46 CONCLUSION Concentration of ethylbenzene anil styrene in the working environment • The maximum concentration of ethylbenzene and styrene at three research facilities was within the permissible limit Significantly the concentration of styrene in the environment is very low (1.13 ± 0.97mg,mi), - 22 individual ethylbenzene concentrations samples in an average 8-hour at research facilities exceeded the permissible limit by ACGIH mainly in the mixing workshop The level of ethylbenzene contamination through Mandelic and Phenylglyoxylic add* merabolhm products in urine • The average total concentration of MA and PGA in the three companies were within the permissible limit according to the ACGIH but calculated for each subject 21 samples are exceeding the permissible limit - There is a suông correlation between ethylbenzene exposure and the metabolite in the urinary(MA and PGA»(R ■ 0.82) 47 RECOMMENDATIONS From the research results, we have the following recommendations: • Apply individual dose monitoring (monitoring shifts) substitute for currently environmental monitoring ’ Set up the permissible limn for ethylbenzene m the working environment - In the working environment, styrene concentration and the individual dose of the workers are much lower than the permissible limit Need to rebuild the limit to match reality • Apply MA and PGA concentration indexes as biological monitoring index with the permissible limit for ethylbenzene exposure (0.15g g creatinine) REFERENCES Global trends on occupational accidents and diseases Accessed August 29,2020 https:/Ax-ww.ilo.org,legac\'english.'oshen'ston_content external_files/fs _st_ -ILO_5_en.pdf p IO CD ting disease through a healthier and safer workspace Accessed August 30 2020 https:/AvwwAvho.inT'publications-detail- redirect/preventing-disease-through-a-hcalthier-and-safcr-workspacc Persons outside the labour foTce: How inactive are they really Accessed August 29 2020 httpsi'/www.ilo.orgAvanspi group&'public.' - dgreports-—$tat'documentS'pubhcation ;wcms_714359.pdf As TRAN D 1, ENGSTROM J, OVRUM p Occupational Poisonings: Lessons Learned from Poison Center Narratives Stđ/iiAnđvMM Journal of Work, Environment A Health 1978:4(3): 185-194 Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences R Practice B on PH and PH Medicine of The Challenge: Chemicals in Today's Society National Academies Press (VS);
