Introducing the OECD guidance document on occupational biomonitoring
Hopf, Nancy B.; Bessems, Jos; Santonen, Tiina; Viegas, Susana; Casteleyn, Ludwine; Poddalgoda, Devika; Lamkarkach, Farida; Göen, ThomasPublisher Copyright: © 2024 The Authors; Derivation of occupational biomonitoring levels (OBLs) is needed to effectively utilize biomonitoring for assessing exposures to chemical substances, and consequently, implement risk reduction measures to reduce health risks among workers. OBLs are the appropriate option for chemical substances that can be absorbed through the skin. This methodology for derivation of OBL...

Human biomonitoring and toxicokinetics as key building blocks for next generati...
Reale, Elena; Zare Jeddi, Maryam; Paini, Alicia; Connolly, Alison; Duca, Radu; Cubadda, Francesco; Benfenati, Emilio; Bessems, Jos; S. Galea, KarenPublisher Copyright: © 2024 The Author(s); Human health risk assessment is historically built upon animal testing, often following Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test guidelines and exposure assessments. Using combinations of human relevant in vitro models, chemical analysis and computational (in silico) approaches bring advantages compared to animal studies. These include a great...
A harmonized occupational biomonitoring approach
Hopf, Nancy B.; Rousselle, Christophe; Poddalgoda, Devika; Lamkarkach, Farida; Bessems, Jos; Schmid, Kaspar; Jones, Kate; Takaki, KokiPublisher Copyright: © 2024; Biomonitoring has been widely used in assessing exposures in both occupational and public health complementing chemical risk assessments because it measures the concentrations of chemical substances in human body fluids (e.g., urine and blood). Biomonitoring considers all routes and sources of exposure. An occupational biomonitoring guidance document has been elaborated (OECD Occupa...

HBM4EU chromates study
HBM4EU chromates study team; Santonen, Tiina; Porras, Simo P; Bocca, Beatrice; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S; Godderis, LodeCrown 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...
