Note: What is the most minimum exposure that could cause such?

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance irritates the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory tract. Exposure could cause central nervous system depression and liver and kidney damage.

NOTE: with daily urinalyses testing, how could exposures be allowed to reach this point?
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
The liquid defats the skin. The substance may have effects on the haematopoietic system , resulting in blood disorders.

such as *hemolytic anemia; and kidney damage (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 1998). * hemolytic anemia in this case would be premature destruction of red blood cells caused by chemical poisoning

Although SNFTAAS now GASS initially focussed on the health industry's use of glutaraldehyde (also a sterilant e.g. Cidex, for medical instruments), it became increasingly obvious that a chemical support network was needed.

It has happened and GASS now exits. Many of the effects of toxic chemicals are similar and frequently those affected are accused of malingering; of it being "all in the mind", pre-, mid- or post-menopausal, stress related, or from depression or an "illness belief". Those affected are often misunderstood or ridiculed or subjected to enormous pressure to return to work before they are able (if at all).

Symptoms (most common first) include: headache, sore throat, voice change or loss, constant humph, catarrh, unexpected tiredness, fatigue, sore/watery/gritty eyes, irritability, anxiety, depression, loss of concentration, short-term memory loss, reactions to other chemicals, dizziness, blocked nose, rhinitis, mouth ulcers, bad/metallic taste in mouth, lip sores, chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pains, asthma, sinusitis, nasal discharge, nose bleeds, ulceration of nasal mucosa, itchy burning skin, rashes, dermatitis, aching joints and muscles, fibromyalgia, uncontrollable twitching, heart arrhythmia's, palpitations, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, tinnitus, earache, pins and needles, numbness in fingers and toes, Raynaud’s Syndrome, menstrual irregularities, pain/difficulty urinating. Other areas of concern include liver damage, cancer, teeth and gum problems, reproductive effects and lack of interest in sex.

"A low intake of antioxidants was associated with an increased risk of all gastric cancer subtypes and a high parallel intake of ascorbic acid, ß-carotene and [alpha]-tocopherol was significantly associated with reduced risk, suggesting synergistic mechanisms. Our findings also imply that other bioactive compounds in fruit and vegetables could be important in reducing the risk of gastric cancer. Exposure to metal work and phenoxy acids was associated with increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma, but causality is unclear. With a more correct classification of exposure, the risk associated with H. pylori appears stronger than earlier, confined to non-cardia tumors, and substantial for both intestinal and diffuse type tumors. Interactions between antioxidants, H. pylori infection and cigarette smoking may considerably modify the risk of all types of gastric adenocarcinoma, indicating that H. pylori induces oxidative stress that could be ameliorated by dietary antioxidants." http://diss.kib.ki.se/2000/91-628-4066-5/
