MicroNIR/chemometrics assessement of occupational exposure to hydroxyurea
Portable Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIRs) coupled to chemometrics was investigated for the first time as a novel entirely on-site approach for occupational exposure monitoring in pharmaceutical field. Due to a significant increase in the number of patients receiving chemotherapy, the development of reliable, fast, and on-site analytical methods to assess the occupational exposure of workers in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, has become more and more required.
