HBM4EU chromates study: the Portuguese integrated and harmonized study on expos...
Viegas, Susana; Martins, Carla; Ribeiro, Edna; Ladeira, Carina; Pinhal, Hermínia; Nogueira, Ana; Santos, Sílvia; Tavares, Ana; Gomes, Bruno CostaIn the scope of the European Union (EU) human biomonitoring initiative, a multicentric study on different occupational settings from several European countries was performed, to provide information on occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], a known lung carcinogen. Biomonitoring approaches were used to obtain exposure data to support the implementation of new risk management measures and policy a...

Aimonen, K.; Silva, Maria João; Tavares, Ana; Moreira, Rodrigo; Louro, Henriqueta; Catalán, J.; Duca, R.; Godderis, L.; Mahiout, S.; Martins, C.The European Commission has recently adopted a new Circular Economy Action Plan, which recognizes the critical role of material circulation in achieving sustainable development. The waste management sector will play a pivotal role in this, and an increase in the number of workers involved in waste recycling is expected. However, a recent multi-centric study conducted as part of the European Human Biomonitoring ...
Biomonitorização da exposição profissional ao crómio hexavalente: contributo pa...
Pinhal, Hermínia; Nogueira, Ana; Santos, Sílvia; Ribeiro, Edna; Ladeira, Carina; Viegas, SusanaO crómio hexavalente (Cr ( VI ) ) é um agente cancerígeno para o ser humano, estando na origem de cancro no pulmão. As indústrias em que ocorre exposição ao Cr ( VI ) incluem a produção, utilização e soldadura de metais e ligas contendo crómio. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os resultados de monitorização ambiental e biológica da exposição profissional ao Cr ( VI ) no âmbito da participação portug...

Santonen, Tiina; Porras, Simo P.; Bocca, Beatrice; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S.; Godderis, Lode; Göen, Thomas; Hardy, EmilieExposure 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 and validity of different biomarkers for the assessment of Cr(VI) exposur...

Ndaw, Sophie; Leso, Veruscka; Bousoumah, Radia; Rémy, Aurélie; Bocca, Beatrice; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Godderis, Lode; Hardy, Emilie; Janasik, BeataOccupational exposures to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) can occur in welding, hot working stainless steel processing, chrome plating, spray painting, and coating activities. Recently, within the human biomonitoring for Europe initiative (HBM4EU), a study was performed to assess the suitability of different biomarkers to assess the exposure to Cr(VI) in various job tasks. Blood-based biomarkers may prove useful w...

Santonen, Tiina; Bocca, Beatrice; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S.; Godderis, Lode; Göen, Thomas; Hardy, Emilie; Iavicoli, IvoIntroduction: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is an important occupational carcinogen. In addition to air monitoring biomonitoring is commonly applied to monitor exposure to Cr(VI). Within the EU biomonitoring initiative, HBM4EU, we explored the applicability of different biomonitoring methods in the assessment of occupational exposure to Cr(VI) in welding and surface treatment activities. Materials and Methods: A...

Pires, Ana Filipa; Pais, Aida; Faria, Tiago; Santos, Sílvia; Oliveira, Anabela; Amado, Joana; Pinhal, Hermínia; Nogueira, AnaA exposição profissional a benzeno, tolueno, etilbenzeno e xilenos (BTEX) tem efeitos nocivos para saúde (tóxicos para o sistema nervoso central e reprodução, cancerígenos, mutagénicos), que levaram a União Europeia e Portugal a estabelecer valores-limite de exposição, de cumprimento obrigatório (benzeno) ou com caráter indicativo (etilbenzeno, tolueno e xilenos), que visam proteger os trabalhadores no desenvol...
Occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium: biomarkers of genotoxicity in hum...
Afonso, Catarina; Gomes, Bruno Costa; Louro, Henriqueta; Nogueira, Ana; Pinhal, Hermínia; Reis, Susana; Ventura, Célia; Ladeira, Carina; Ribeiro, EdnaThe hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a human carcinogen, which is still authorized for use in several industrial settings because it has been difficult to replace. This was the reasoning to select it as a priority chemical by the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU, https://www.hbm4eu.eu/), which aims to bridge chemicals human exposure to their possible impact on health. For that purpose, not only ex...
