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...
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...

Galea, Karen S.; Brooker, Finlay; Rashid, Shahzad; Bader, Michael; Ait Bamai, Yu; Bessems, Jos; Beyene, Embialle Mengistie; Connolly, AlisonThe FAIREHR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable Environmental and Health Registry) platform is a state-of-the-art online registry for prospective harmonization of human biomonitoring (HBM). It was developed by the HBM working group of the Europe Regional Chapter of the International Society of Exposure Science (ISES Europe) and is supported by the HBM Global Network. FAIREHR is designed to harmonize ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure among European adults: Evidence ...
Karakoltzidis, Achilleas; Papaioannou, Nafsika; Gabriel, Catherine; Chatzimpaloglou, Anthoula; Andersson, Anna-Maria; Juul, AndersPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent environmental pollutants with well-documented associations to adverse health effects, posing significant public health challenges across Europe. Human exposure to 13 urinary PAH metabolites was assessed in a harmonized cohort of European adults aged 20-39, representing diverse geographic regions across Europe: North (Iceland and Denmark), East (Poland and t...

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 ...
HBM4EU-MOM: Prenatal methylmercury-exposure control in five countries through s...
Katsonouri, Andromachi; Gabriel, Catherine; Esteban López, Marta; Namorado, Sónia; Halldorsson, Thorhallur; Snoj Tratnik, Janja; Rodriguez Martin, LauraBackground: Seafood is a major source of vital nutrients for optimal fetal growth, but at the same time is the main source of exposure to methylmercury (MeHg), an established neurodevelopmental toxicant. Pregnant women must be provided with dietary advice so as to include safely fish in their diet for nutrition and mercury control. The aim of this work is to present the design of a multicentre randomized contro...

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...

Zare Jeddi, Maryam; Galea, Karen S.; Viegas, Susana; Fantke, Peter; Louro, Henriqueta; Theunis, Jan; Govarts, Eva; Denys, Sébastien; Fillol, ClémenceThe environmental impact on health is an inevitable by-product of human activity. Environmental health sciences is a multidisciplinary field addressing complex issues on how people are exposed to hazardous chemicals that can potentially affect adversely the health of present and future generations. Exposure sciences and environmental epidemiology are becoming increasingly data-driven and their efficiency and ef...
