HBM4EU Chromates Study
Kozłowska, Lucyna; Santonen, Tiina; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Godderis, Lode; Jagiello, Karolina; Janasik, Beata; Van Nieuwenhuyse, An; Poels, KatrienExposure to hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) may occur in several occupational activities, placing workers in many industries at risk for potential related health outcomes. Untargeted metabolomics was applied to investigate changes in metabolic pathways in response to Cr(VI) exposure. We obtained our data from a study population of 220 male workers with exposure to Cr(VI) and 102 male controls from Belgium, Finland, ...

HBM4EU occupational biomonitoring study on e-waste
Scheepers, Paul T. J.; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S.; Godderis, Lode; Hardy, Emilie; Knudsen, Lisbeth E.; Leese, Elizabeth; Louro, HenriquetaWorkers 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...
