The toxicologist is specially trained to examine the nature of these adverse effects and to assess the probability of their occurrence. The combination of a variety of potential adverse effects and the diversity of chemicals present in our environment makes toxicology a very broad science [77]. Therefore, toxicologists are usually specialised to work in one area of toxicology. As occupational toxicologists we are concerned with the prevention of health impairments in workers who may be exposed to industrial chemicals. The working environment may present the risk of workers' overexposure to various chemicals. It is obvious that the control of these risks cannot wait until epidemiological studies have defined the no-adverse-effect level in man. However, extrapolation from animal data or even from human tissue data also has its limitations. Man is not a big rodent and is more than a jigsaw puzzle of tissue fragments. To overcome this problem, toxicity studies in animals and human tissue can be combined with insights in structure activity relationships. As a next step monitoring techniques can be used to check exposure levels and for early evaluation of effects that occur during actual use of a compound in the industry. Monitoring activities has an important role in occupational and environmental practice. Most obvious are the methods related to the evaluation of the presence of chemical agents either in the contaminated environment or in the exposed organism. In the first case the procedures are indicated as environmental monitoring, and in the latter case the procedures are defined as biological monitoring [41]. Lately the arsenal of monitoring techniques has been extended with test methods directed to the assessment of early, possibly reversible, biological effects (biological effect monitoring). In order to use such effects for monitoring, the relationship to health impairment does not need to be established. The proposal of tests capable of detecting early adverse biological effects of industrial chemicals requires a detailed knowledge of their mechanism of action. Unfortunately, for many chemicals, such information is still missing. In such cases, the available screening tests are frequently too insensitive for detecting health effects at a reversible stage. Further fundamental research on the mechanism of action of industrial chemicals is needed for development of more useful health surveillance procedures for workers [77]. In this thesis the attention is directed to the toxicity of aliphatic hydroxylamines. Several derivatives of the parent compound hydroxylamine
