Abstract
A big percentage of the chemicals encountered in the environment are eventually excreted in the urine as various polar metabolites. Therefore, indices of exposure to these compounds may be established by monitoring levels of urinary metabolites. Since many of the metabolites may be classified into one of several broad categories (i.e., phenols, anilines, alkyl phosphates, etc.) a few basic methods permit the monitoring of a large number of metabolites.
