Jean is a co-founder of Ecological Health Alliance, a group providing education and support to people with MCS in Victoria. Two years ago the group joined with a national organization and is now the British Columbia branch of the Allergy and Environmental Health Association of Canada. A native of Vancouver, Jean has lived on Vancouver Island with her husband for more than forty years. 

Sheila Pressley, DrPH, is an associate professor in the Department of Enviromnental Health Science at Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) in Richmond, Kentucky. Her research interests include children s environmental health issues as they relate to toxic substance exposures from lead and illegal drug lab enviromnents, as well as food safety and security. In addition to her book publications, she has also published articles in various newsletters, magazines, and journals. Pressley received a BS in environmental health science from Western Carolina University. She received an MS from the Civil Engineering School at Tufts University and a DrPH from the University of Kentucky s College of Public Health. She also holds a number of professional certifications, such as the Registered Environmental Health Specialist credential from the National Enviromnental Health Association and the Certified in Public Health credential from the National Board of Public Health Examiners.

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. 

Based on the patch method to assess worker or re-entry exposure, researchers have developed a database, which may be used to estimate exposure. Each patch from an individual in a study can be entered into the database separately, the residue data from patches from various body areas can be summed to yield a whole-body exposure number, and the data may be sorted as to worker tasks, equipment used, protective clothing worn, formulation types and other parameters. This is the basis for the currently used Pesticide Handlers Data Base (PHED), which was developed through a joint effort in the 1980s of CropLife America [formerly known as American Crop Protection Association (ACPA) and National Agricultural Chemicals Association (NACA)], the Environmental Protection Agency (ERA) and Health Canada. " The PHED is discussed in detail in another article in this book.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is funding research at the University of Nevada at Reno on the chemical environmental problems associated with mining of gold and silver in the desert environment of the western United States. Cyanide will be the focus of an environmental chemistry project which is intended to provide essential site and chemical characterization information to concurrent biomedical projects. This research will provide information on releases of cyanide to the environment from precious metal mining and help to determine the threat to human health (i.e., potential for human exposures to cyanide) from toxic mining waste.
