Why is biologic monitoring used with caution for detecting high exposures?

  1. Because it requires expensive laboratory tests

  2. Because it can indicate that excessive exposures have already occurred

  3. Because it is not accurate

  4. Because it can only be used for a limited number of substances

The correct answer is: Because it can indicate that excessive exposures have already occurred

Biologic monitoring is used with caution for detecting high exposures because it can indicate that excessive exposures have already occurred. This means that the damage may have already been done to the person's health and the monitoring may be less effective at preventing further harm. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because biologic monitoring is not necessarily expensive or inaccurate, and it can be used for a wide range of substances. However, it is important to note that biologic monitoring should still be used in conjunction with other methods of monitoring exposure levels to get a complete and accurate picture of potential health risks.
