Colormetric Laboratories, Inc. has provided biological monitoring analytical services for methylene bischloraniline (MOCA) since 1978. Aromatic amines (MOCA, MDA, TDA, etc.) are low vapor pressure solids and skin contact is the major exposure route. Although urine monitoring is invaluable in identifying exposed employees, it reveals little about how the exposure occurred. In 1992, CLI introduced a range of direct reading detection systems for surface and skin contamination. These SWYPES detectors enabled the industrial hygienist to determine where and when the skin exposures occurred that contributed to biological exposures. CLI continues to introduce new methods to detect and reduce skin exposures.
