4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chloroaniline),
also known as MbOCA or MOCA, is a substance used as a curing agent
in polyurethane production. It is a suspected human carcinogen and
is readily absorbed through the skin. There is a UK Biological Monitoring
Guidance Value of 15 µmol/mol creatinine although recent
surveys have shown that companies with good occupational hygiene
control can achieve results less than 3 µmol/mol creatinine.
Polyurethane production involves
the use of isocyanates, which also have
a Biological Monitoring Guidance Value so we now offer a
combined analysis of MbOCA with an isocyanate (TDI or MDI, please
specify) in the same urine sample so that exposure to both health
risks (asthma and cancer) from the process can be
assessed.
Please note that a
minimum of 10mL urine is required for this test. Do
not send samples with less than this volume rather re-sample at
another time.
