The HBM4EU chromates study – Outcomes and impacts on EU policies and occupation...

Funding Information: The recently completed EU human biomonitoring initiative (HBM4EU, www.hbm4eu.eu/about-hbm4eu/), was a European Joint Programme that aimed to harmonise the collection and use of biomonitoring data to better understand human exposure to chemicals in the environment, in occupational settings and through the use of consumer products to improve chemical risk assessment and management efforts, an...

HBM4EU chromates study

Funding Information: Funding: This research was conducted under the HBM4EU project and was funded by European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 733032 and received co-funding from the author’s organizations and/or Ministries. Luxembourg entered the study at a later stage and thus financed the study at its own means. Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the author. Licensee...

HBM4EU chromates study

Crown 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 occupational biomonitoring study on e-waste

Workers involved in the processing of electronic waste (e-waste) are potentially exposed to toxic chemicals. If exposure occurs, this may result in uptake and potential adverse health effects. Thus, exposure surveillance is an important requirement for health risk management and prevention of occupational disease. Human biomonitoring by measurement of specific biomarkers in body fluids is considered as an effec...

Towards a systematic use of effect biomarkers in population and occupational bi...

Effect biomarkers can be used to elucidate relationships between exposure to environmental chemicals and their mixtures with associated health outcomes, but they are often underused, as underlying biological mechanisms are not understood. We aim to provide an overview of available effect biomarkers for monitoring chemical exposures in the general and occupational populations, and highlight their potential in mo...

HBM4EU chromates study

The 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...
