Abstract
In this study, we study an at-risk occupation, the police. Forty-five urine samples were obtained from 45 Thai police working close to traffic in an urban area, for analysis of urine phenol levels. The average (mean +/- SD) urine phenol level in these police was 16.94 +/- 11.72 mg/g-Cr. Significantly higher urine phenol levels were found among police who had worked for longer durations (p < 0.05).
