Shaping the future of human biomonitoring (HBM)
Zare Jeddi, Maryam; Hopf, Nancy B.; Galea, Karen S.; Jones, Kate; Louro, Henriqueta; Silva, Maria João; Covaci, Adrian; Santonen, TiinaHuman biomonitoring (HBM) continues to play an indispensable role within exposure science, offering insights into aggregate chemical exposures across populations and life stages. Since 2018, the European chapter of the International Society of Exposure Science Human Biomonitoring Working Group (ISES Europe HBM WG) has aimed to facilitate generation of more and high-quality HBM data. The working group aims to st...

Zare Jeddi, Maryam; Jones, Kate; Leese, Elizabeth; Fustinoni, Silvia; Galea, Karen S.; Santonen, Tiina; Porras, Simo P.; Hopf, Nancy B.; Göen, ThomasHuman biomonitoring (HBM) complements air and surface measurements by integrating exposure from all routes and sources, strengthening occupational exposure assessment and control. In occupational settings, HBM can quantify exposure during routine work and nonroutine activities, evaluate controls, investigate incidents (potential overexposures), and support medical surveillance. To use HBM to its full potential,...

Guidance on minimum information requirements (MIR) from designing to reporting ...
Jeddi, Maryam Zare; Galea, Karen S.; Ashley-Martin, Jillian; Nassif, Julianne; Pollock, Tyler; Poddalgoda, Devika; Kasiotis, Konstantinos M.Human biomonitoring (HBM) provides an integrated chemical exposures assessment considering all routes and sources of exposure. The accurate interpretation and comparability of biomarkers of exposure and effect depend on harmonized, quality-assured sampling, processing, and analysis. Currently, the lack of broadly accepted guidance on minimum information required for collecting and reporting HBM data, hinders co...
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 ...

Nakayama, Shoji F.; St-Amand, Annie; Pollock, Tyler; Apel, Petra; Bamai, Yu Ait; Barr, Dana Boyd; Bessems, Jos; Calafat, Antonia M.; Castaño, ArgeliaHuman biomonitoring (HBM) data measured in specific contexts or populations provide information for comparing population exposures. There are numerous health-based biomonitoring guidance values, but to locate these values, interested parties need to seek them out individually from publications, governmental reports, websites and other sources. Until now, there has been no central, international repository for t...
A Tiered Approach for Assessing Individual and Combined Risk of Pyrethroids Usi...
Tarazona, Jose; Cattaneo, Irene; Niemann, Lars; Pedraza-Diaz, Susana; González-Caballero, MCarmen; Alba-Gonzalez, Mercedes de; Cañas, AnaPyrethroids are a major insecticide class, suitable for biomonitoring in humans. Due to similarities in structure and metabolic pathways, urinary metabolites are common to various active substances. A tiered approach is proposed for risk assessment. Tier I was a conservative screening for overall pyrethroid exposure, based on phenoxybenzoic acid metabolites. Subsequently, probabilistic approaches and more speci...
Harmonization of Human Biomonitoring Studies in Europe: Characteristics of the ...
Gilles, Liese; Govarts, Eva; Rodriguez Martin, Laura; Andersson, Anna-Maria; Appenzeller, Brice M.R.; Barbone, Fabio; Castano, Argelia; Coertjens, DriesHuman biomonitoring has become a pivotal tool for supporting chemicals’ policies. It provides information on real-life human exposures and is increasingly used to prioritize chemicals of health concern and to evaluate the success of chemical policies. Europe has launched the ambitious REACH program in 2007 to improve the protection of human health and the environment. In October 2020 the EU commission published...
