SCCS Opinion on Biphenyl-2-ol and Sodium 2-biphenylolate used in cosmetic produ...
Bernauer, Ulrike; Bodin, Laurent; Chaudhry, Qasim; Coenraads, Pieter Jan; Ezendam, Janine; Gaffet, Eric; Galli, Corrado L.; Panteri, EiriniHighlights: -o-Phenylphenol (OPP) is safe when used as preservative up to a maximum concentration of 0.2 % in rinse-off cosmetic products; - o-Phenylphenol (OPP) is safe when used as preservative up to a maximum concentration of 0.15 % in leave-on cosmetic products; - Sodium o-Phenylphenate is safe when used as preservative up to a maximum concentration of 0.2 % in rinse-off cosmetic products; - Sodium o-Phenyl...
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...
Scientific Opinion on benzophenone – 4 (CAS No. 4065-45-6, EC No. 223-772-2) us...
Van Haecke, Tamara; Rogiers, Vera; Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety - SCCS; Bernauer, Ulrike; Bodin, Laurent; Chaudhry, QasimHighlights: -BZP-4 is safe when used as UV filter up to a max. conc. of 5 % in sunscreen, all leave-on products (tot. dermal aggregate); -BZP-4 is safe when used as UV filter up to a max. conc. of 5 % in sunscreen, all rinse-off products (tot. dermal aggregate); -Same for lipstick, sunscreen propellant and pump spray (separately or in combination based on determ. aggregated exposure); -BZP-4 use as stabiliser w...
Shaping the future of human biomonitoring (HBM): progress, strategy, and global...
Zare Jeddi, Maryam; Hopf, Nancy B.; Galea, Karen S.; Jones, Kate; Louro, Henriqueta; Silva, Maria João; Covaci, Adrian; Santonen, TiinHuman 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...
Application of human biomonitoring data to support policy development, raise aw...
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...

Jeddi, Maryam Zare; Hopf, Nancy B.; Louro, Henriqueta; Viegas, Susana; Galea, Karen S.; Pasanen-Kase, Robert; Santonen, Tiina; Mustieles, VicenteHuman biomonitoring (HBM) is a crucial approach for exposure assessment, as emphasised in the European Commission’s Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). HBM can help to improve chemical policies in five major key areas: (1) assessing internal and aggregate exposure in different target populations; 2) assessing exposure to chemicals across life stages; (3) assessing combined exposure to multiple chemical...
Framework for developing an exposure science curriculum as part of the European...
Connolly, Alison; Scheepers, Paul T.J.; Coggins, Marie A.; Vermeire, Theo; van Tongeren, Martie; Heinemeyer, Gerhard; Bridges, James W.Background: Evaluating and managing exposures to chemical, physical, and biological stressors, which frequently interplay with psychological stressors as well as social and behavioural aspects, is crucial for protecting human and environmental health and transitioning towards a sustainable future. Advances in our understanding of exposure rely on input from well-trained exposure scientists. However, no educatio...
