HBM4EU chromates study
HBM4EU chromates study team; Santonen, Tiina; Porras, Simo P; Bocca, Beatrice; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S; Godderis, LodeCrown Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.; Exposure 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 a...

HBM4EU chromates study
Galea, Karen S.; Porras, Simo P.; Viegas, Susana; Bocca, Beatrice; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Godderis, Lode; Iavicoli, Ivo; Janasik, BeataThe EU human biomonitoring initiative, HBM4EU, aims to co-ordinate and advance human biomonitoring (HBM) across Europe. As part of HBM4EU, we presented a protocol for a multicentre study to characterize occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in nine European countries (HBM4EU chromates study). This study intended to collect data on current occupational exposure and to test new indicators for chro...
Biomonitoring of occupational exposure to bisphenol A, bisphenol S and bisphenol F
Bousoumah, Radia; Leso, Veruscka; Iavicoli, Ivo; Huuskonen, Pasi; Viegas, Susana; Porras, Simo P.; Santonen, Tiina; Frery, Nadine; Robert, AlainBisphenol A (BPA) and its substitutes bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) are endocrine disrupting chemicals widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins and thermal papers. The aim of the review was to identify occupational studies using human biomonitoring (HBM) as a tool for bisphenol exposure assessment and to characterize research gaps on the topic as part of the HBM4EU project...
Biomonitoring of occupational exposure to phthalates
Fréry, Nadine; Santonen, Tiina; Porras, Simo P.; Fucic, Aleksandra; Leso, Veruscka; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; El Yamani, MouniaIntroduction: Phthalates, a group of ubiquitous industrial chemicals, have been widely used in occupational settings, mainly as plasticizers in a variety of applications. Occupational exposure to different phthalates has been studied in several occupational settings using human biomonitoring (HBM). Aim: To provide a comprehensive review of the available literature on occupational exposure to phthalates assessed...
