American Public Health Association

The American Public Health Association (APHA), established in 1872, functions as the oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association seeks to help protect all American families and their communities from preventable serious health threats. The association strives to ensure the accessibility of community-based health promotions, disease-prevention activities, and preventive health services for all Americans. The association promotes the scientific and professional foundations related to public health practice and policy. APHA also advocates the importance of a healthy global society by emphasizing prevention and enhancing members ability to promote environmental and community health.

The methods that have been discussed require specially designed instruments. Laboratories without such instruments can measure these gases using general-purpose chemical analytical equipment. A compendium of methods for these laboratories is the "Manual on Methods of Air Sampling and Analysis"published by the American Public Health Association. (10).

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the analytical methods that are available for detecting, measuring, and/or monitoring methyl parathion, its metabolites, and other biomarkers of exposure and effect to methyl parathion. The intent is not to provide an exhaustive list of analytical methods. Rather, the intention is to identify well-established methods that are used as the standard methods of analysis. Many of the analytical methods used for environmental samples are the methods approved by federal agencies and organizations such as EPA and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Other methods presented in this chapter are those that are approved by groups such as the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) and the American Public Health Association (APHA). Additionally, analytical methods are included that modify previously used methods to obtain lower detection limits and/or to improve accuracy and precision.

Dioxins are of concern because they accumulate in the biosphere, where they have highly deleterious effects. Tests have shown that when the concentration of dioxins in the blood of laboratory animals reaches a critical level, reproductive and immune system defects result. Moreover, recent data indicate that the concentration of dioxins in the blood of the average U.S. resident has nearly reached that level. A major reason is that dioxins are not veiy water-soluble, so they accumulate in the body rather than being readily processed and excreted. Consequently, several groups, including the American Public Health Association, have issued calls for phasing out the use of industrial chlorine.
