Translating biomonitoring data into risk management and policy implementation options for a European Network on Human Biomonitoring
BACKGROUND The "European Environment & Health Action Plan 2004-2010" originates from the concern of the European Commission on the well-being of individuals and the general population. Through this plan, the Commission has set the objectives to improve the information chain for a better understanding of the link between sources of pollution and health effects, to better identify existing knowle...
متن کاملInterpreting human biomonitoring data in a public health risk context using Biomonitoring Equivalents.
Human biomonitoring (HBM) has proven an extremely valuable tool for determining which chemicals are getting into people, detecting trends in population exposures over time, and identifying populations with exposures above background. The potential significance of the HBM data in the context of existing toxicology data and risk assessments can be assessed if chemical-specific quantitative screen...
متن کاملRisk management of European inland waters using macrophyte biomonitoring

Increasing human activities lead to a rise in organic and inorganic pollutants leading to acidification or eutrophicat...
متن کاملFirst Steps toward Harmonized Human Biomonitoring in Europe: Demonstration Project to Perform Human Biomonitoring on a European Scale
BACKGROUND For Europe as a whole, data on internal exposure to environmental chemicals do not yet exist. Characterization of the internal individual chemical environment is expected to enhance understanding of the environmental threats to health. OBJECTIVES We developed and applied a harmonized protocol to collect comparable human biomonitoring data all over Europe. METHODS In 17 European c...
متن کاملImplementation of Microsensor Interface for Biomonitoring of Human Cognitive Processes
Miniaturization of biomedical sensors has increased the importance of microsystem technology in medical applications, particularly microelectronics and micromachining. This work presents a new approach to biomedical monitoring and analysis of selected human cognitive processes. The system is based on our preliminary described theory and experiments (Vavrinsky et al. 2010). We are primarily inte...
