Harmonized human biomonitoring in European children, teenagers and adults: EU-w...
Govarts, Eva; Gilles, Liese; Rodriguez Martin, Laura; Santonen, Tiina; Apel, Petra; Alvito, Paula; Anastasi, Elena; Andersen, Helle RaunAs one of the core elements of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) a human biomonitoring (HBM) survey was conducted in 23 countries to generate EU-wide comparable HBM data. This survey has built on existing HBM capacity in Europe by aligning national or regional HBM studies, referred to as the HBM4EU Aligned Studies. The HBM4EU Aligned Studies included a total of 10,795 participants from three ...
Application of human biomonitoring data to support policy development, raise aw...
Ubong, Dorothy; Stewart, Lorraine; Sepai, Ovnair; Knudsen, Lisbeth E.; Berman, Tamar; Reynders, Hans; Van Campenhout, Karen; Katsonouri, AndromachiMost countries have acknowledged the importance of assessing and quantifying their population’s internal exposure from chemicals in air, water, soil, food and other consumer products due to the potential health and economic impact. Human biomonitoring (HBM) is a valuable tool which can be used to quantify such exposures and effects. Results from HBM studies can also contribute to improving public health by prov...

Avaliação do risco da mistura de crómio hexavalente, níquel e hidrocarbonetos a...
Tavares, Ana Maria; Viegas, Susana; Louro, Henriqueta; Goen, Thomas; Santonen, Tiina; Luijten, Mirjam; Kortenkamp, Andreas; Silva, Maria JoãoNa maioria dos contextos laborais ocorre, em geral, exposição a misturas de substâncias químicas. Este estudo, inserido na iniciativa HBM4EU, visou avaliar o risco de exposição a misturas de crómio hexavalente [Cr ( VI ) ], níquel (Ni ) e/ou hicrocarbonetos aromáticos policíclicos (HAPs ) a partir de dados de exposição reportados em estudos realizados em várias indústrias na Europa. Para a avaliação do risco de...
Occupational Exposure to Hexavalent Chromium, Nickel and PAHs: A Mixtures Risk ...
Tavares, Ana Maria; Viegas, Susana; Louro, Henriqueta; Göen, Thomas; Santonen, Tiina; Luijten, Mirjam; Kortenkamp, Andreas; Silva, Maria JoãoHexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), nickel (Ni) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are genotoxic co-occurring lung carcinogens whose occupational health risk is still understudied. This study, conducted within the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU), aimed at performing a mixtures risk assessment (MRA) based on published human biomonitoring (HBM) data from Cr(VI), Ni and/or PAHs occupational co-...
Occupational exposure to metals and PAHs: combining literature-based exposure a...
Tavares, Ana Maria; Alves, Inês; Moreira, Rodrigo; Louro, Henriqueta; Ladeira, Carina; Viegas, Susana; Loureiro, Susana; Santonen, Tiina; Göen, ThomasThe environment within industrial settings is commonly characterized by the existence of a complex mixture of chemicals from different raw materials and transformation processes. Occupational co-exposure to chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) may occur in diverse workplaces, such as the aeronautic and waste management, (e.g incineration) sectors. Such co-exposure rais-es conc...
Biomarkers of effect as determined in human biomonitoring studies on hexavalent...
Ventura, Célia; Gomes, BC; Oberemm, Axel; Louro, Henriqueta; Huuskonen, Pasi; Mustieles, Vicente; Fernández, Mariana F.; Ndaw, Sophie; Mengelers, MarcelA number of human biomonitoring (HBM) studies have presented data on exposure to hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] and cadmium (Cd), but comparatively few include results on effect biomarkers. The latter are needed to identify associations between exposure and adverse outcomes (AOs) in order to assess public health implications. To support improved derivation of EU regulation and policy making, it is of great import...
