The quality of exposure assessment is a major determinant of the overall quality of any
environmental epidemiology study. The use of biomonitoring as a tool for assessing …

In environmental epidemiology, use of biomonitoring (ie, trace-level measurement of
environmental chemicals or their metabolites in biospecimens) for exposure assessment …

The ability to measure chemicals in humans (often termed biomonitoring) is far outpacing
the ability to interpret reliably these data for public health purposes, creating a major …

Biomonitoring is a valuable tool for assessing human exposures to chemical contaminants
in the environment. Biomonitoring tests can be divided into biomarkers of exposure, effect …

Biomonitoring uses analytic methods that permit the accurate measurement of low levels of
environmental chemicals in human tissues. However, depending on the intended use …

Background: The term “exposome” was coined in 2005 to underscore the importance of the
environment to human health and to bring research efforts in line with those on the human …

BACKGROUND: Biomonitoring is used in exposure and risk assessments to reduce
uncertainties along the source-to-outcome continuum. Specifically, biomarkers can help …

Background The routine use of biomonitoring (ie, measurement of environmental chemicals,
their metabolites, or specific reaction products in human biological specimens) to assess …

Typically, the availability of appropriate data to estimate human exposures to toxic chemicals
is scarce. Consequently, exposure assessments are often based on indirect surrogates of …

A primary consideration in the evaluation of chemicals is the potential for substances to be
absorbed and retained in an organism's tissues (ie, bioaccumulated) at concentrations …
