Human biomonitoring as a tool for exposure assessment in industrially contamina...
Colles, A; Ardeleanu, ER; Cendeias, C; Ranzi, A; Demeter, Z; Hofer, A; Kowalska, M; Makris, KC; Arrebola, JP; Schoeters, G; Hough, RBACKGROUND: the mixed and complex nature of industrially contaminated sites (ICSs) leads to heterogeneity in exposure and health risk of residents living nearby. Health, environment, and social aspects are strongly interconnected in ICSs, and local communities are often concerned about potential health impact and needs for remediation. The use of human biomonitoring (HBM) for impact assessment of environmental ...

Hoek, G; Ranzi, A; Alimehmeti, I; Ardeleanu, ER; Arrebola, JP; Ávila, P; Candeias, C; Colles, A; Crișan, GC; Dack, S; Demeter, Z; Fazzo, L; Fierens, TBACKGROUND: this paper is based upon work from COST Action ICSHNet. Health risks related to living close to industrially contaminated sites (ICSs) are a public concern. Toxicology-based risk assessment of single contaminants is the main approach to assess health risks, but epidemiological studies which investigate the relationships between exposure and health directly in the affected population have contributed...
