HBM4EU chromates study: overall results and recommendations for the biomonitori...
Santonen, Tiina; Porras, Simo P.; Bocca, Beatrice; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S.; Godderis, Lode; Göen, Thomas; Hardy, EmilieExposure to hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] may occur in several occupational activities, e.g., welding, Cr(VI) electroplating, and other surface treatment processes. The aim of this study was to provide EU-relevant data on occupational Cr(VI) exposure to support the regulatory risk assessment and decision-making. In addition, the capability and validity of different biomarkers for the assessment of Cr(VI) exposur...
HBM4EU chromates study: usefulness of measurement of blood chromium levels in t...
Ndaw, Sophie; Leso, Veruscka; Bousoumah, Radia; Rémy, Aurélie; Bocca, Beatrice; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Godderis, Lode; Hardy, Emilie; Janasik, BeataOccupational exposures to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) can occur in welding, hot working stainless steel processing, chrome plating, spray painting, and coating activities. Recently, within the human biomonitoring for Europe initiative (HBM4EU), a study was performed to assess the suitability of different biomarkers to assess the exposure to Cr(VI) in various job tasks. Blood-based biomarkers may prove useful w...

Santonen, Tiina; Alimonti, Alessandro; Bocca, Beatrice; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S.; Godderis, Lode; Göen, Thomas; Gomes, Bruno; Hanser, OgierThe EU human biomonitoring initiative, HBM4EU, aims to coordinate and advance human biomonitoring (HBM) across Europe. Within its remit, the project is gathering new, policy-relevant, EU-wide data on occupational exposure to relevant priority chemicals and developing new approaches for occupational biomonitoring. In this manuscript, the hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) study design is presented as the first example...

Santonen, Tiina; Alimonti, Alessandro; Bocca, Beatrice; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S.; Godderis, Lode; Göen, Thomas; Gomes, Bruno; Hanser, OgierBackground: The EU human biomonitoring initiative, HBM4EU, aims to co-ordinate and advance human biomonitoring across Europe and develop new approaches for biomonitoring. Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is an important occupational carcinogen, which compounds are currently authorized in Europe. In addition, a binding limit value for occupational exposure to Cr(VI) has been recently agreed in EU. These regulatory a...
