2011 Particle Sciences, Inc. All rights Compound Handling OperationsBackground Pharmacology is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of the interactions that occur between a living organ-ism and chemicals that affect bio-chemical functions. In the field of pharmacology, potency is a mea-sure of drug activity expressed in terms of the amount required to produce an effect of given inten-sity. A highly Potent drug evokes a larger response at low concen-trations, while a drug of lower po-tency evokes a smaller response at similar concentrations. Occupational health profession-als in the pharmaceutical industry have recognized the potential for occupational disease caused by overexposure to active pharma-ceutical ingredients (APIs).1 Com-pounds that are routinely handled in the biotechnology, pharmaceu-tical and medical device indus-tries (from hereon called pharma-ceutical industry) are unique in that they are designed to have an effect on the human body.
