... that studies in occupational toxicology often focus on early effects that are more subtle than those in clinical medicine? Source: "A scheme for biological monitoring of exposure and of early biological effects is possible only when sufficient toxicologic information has been gathered... Occupational toxicologists and occupational physicians cannot rely solely on the standard diagnostic tools used in clinical medicine, as they were established primarily to reveal advanced pathologic states and not to detect early adverse effects at a stage when they are still reversible. [1], p. 22)

Comment: Literally all text in the previous version of this article was verbatim copyvios of the cited sources. Per Rule A4, this text doesn't count for the length requirement, so this is technically an expansion from zero.

Long enough, neutral, adequately cited. QPQ done. Hook is interesting. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) while I trust you on the fact that the prior version was a copyvio, could you identify the source? I'm happy to do the revdels, but I need to know what it's a copyvio from before I do the deletion. Thanks. Guettarda (talk) 18:06, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Guettarda: They were just the same sources that were actually cited. If you pick a sentence and search in Google Books you can usually get a snippet view that confirms it's a verbatim copy-paste. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 18:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
