Summary: The occupational use of chemical substances is a worldwide reality, being a growing public health problem. Several work activities are related with handling of chemicals contributing to the exposure of workers to these substances. Toluene is a non-polar organic solvent, easily absorbed by lipid-rich tissues, and is suspected of damaging fertility, or the unborn child, and may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. The aim of the study was to assess the occupational exposure to toluene, in a chemical industry, through environmental monitoring. Additionally, the study also aimed to identify the main factors that influence the exposure.
