OBJECTIVES Concerns on climate change are leading to the renaissance of wood burning and particulate exposures. Levoglucosan is used as a marker of woodsmoke in air and urine. OBJECTIVES Contribution of data on urinary excretion of levoglucosan, to improve biomonitoring and source apportionment of woodsmoke. MATERIALS AND METHODS 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours after 5 mg of levoglucosan had been admi...

For epidemiologic studies that evaluate the relation between potential exposures to environmental chemicals and adverse outcomes, accurate assessments of exposures and health outcomes are needed. Three prospective cohort studies recently evaluated the relation between exposure, as assessed by biomonitoring, of pregnant women to organophosphorus pesticides and several birth outcomes. Here these ...

Wireless biomonitoring, first used in human beings for fetal heart-rate monitoring more than 30 years ago, has now become a technology for remote sensing of patients' activity, blood pulse pressure, oxygen saturation, internal pressures, orthopedic device loading, and gastrointestinal endoscopy. Technical advances in miniaturization and wireless communications have enabled development of monito...

Biomonitoring ecosystems is necessary in order to evaluate risks and efficiently manage their associated services. Agrosystems are the target of multiple stressors that can affect many species through effects cascading along food webs. However, classic biomonitoring, focused on diversity or indicator species, might be a poor predictor risk such whole-ecosystem perturbations. Thanks high-through...

Knowing the relationship between pollution sources and air concentrations is crucial. Mathematical modeling a suitable method for assessment of this relationship. The aim research was to compare results Analytical Dispersion Modelling Supercomputer System (ADMOSS), which used in large areas, with moss biomonitoring. For comparison purposes, mathematical collection samples biomonitoring Czech–Po...
