Many professions are linked with occupational health risks. The majority of the population works under conditions of occupational, sensory and mental stress. Psychological stress is a factor that affects health, personal satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Many studies and research in the objectification of stress, or increased response to stress are increasingly based on the method of analysis in saliva, so-called salivary biomarkers. These biomarkers are used not only for the analysis of psychosocial stress as a factor, but also in occupational medicine and the environment.

Keywords: stress, stress markers, saliva collection methods
