Abstract
Saliva has been used to estimate plasma levels in humans for a variety of analytes. The potential for estimating the internal dose of pesticides in humans has been demonstrated with the rat. The utility and problems of saliva-sampling techniques remain to be investigated. Measurement of pesticides and other environmental toxicants in saliva has great potential because of sampling simplicity and the potential accuracy of using the saliva concentration of a chemical to estimate its concentration in human tissues.Entities:
