Exposure Control has developed a broad spectrum of methods for environmental and biological monitoring of hazardous drugs which are of great concern to the (occupational) population world-wide due to potential adverse health-effects. Monitoring is mainly focussed on antineoplastic drugs and more recently on antibiotics. About 350 hospitals have been monitored over the last 25 years.
