Internal exposure of Flemish teenagers to environmental pollutants: Results of the Flemish Environment and Health Study 2016-2020 (FLEHS IV)

G. Schoeters et al.

Summary: The Flemish Environment and Health Study (FLEHS) collects information on internal exposure to a broad range of environmental chemicals in the general population in Flanders, Belgium. The study found that there may be concerning levels of exposure to certain chemicals in the Flemish population, and factors such as educational attainment and urbanicity significantly influence exposure levels.

Cohort profile: China National Human Biomonitoring (CNHBM)-A nationally representative, prospective cohort in Chinese population

Zhaojin Cao et al.

Summary: The CNHBM aims to document human exposure to environmental chemicals in the Chinese population, establish a national biorepository, and follow the same participants in subsequent cycles for dynamic data sets. The program collected blood and urine samples from over 21,000 participants to measure a variety of chemicals and establish a comprehensive understanding of environmental toxicity in China.

Biomarkers, matrices and analytical methods targeting human exposure to chemicals selected for a European human biomonitoring initiative

Katrin Vorkamp et al.

Summary: The major purpose of human biomonitoring is to map and assess human exposure to chemicals. The European initiative HBM4EU has prioritized seven substance groups and two metals. Suitable biomarkers, human matrices, and analytical methods were selected based on scientific literature for each substance group or metal to work towards comparable European-wide data.

Human biomonitoring initiative (HBM4EU): Human biomonitoring guidance values (HBM-GVs) derived for cadmium and its compounds

Farida Lamkarkach et al.

Summary: This study used the methodology agreed upon within the HBM4EU project to derive HBMGVs for the general population and workers exposed to cadmium. Renal effects were selected as the critical effect for both groups based on epidemiological studies, with different key studies chosen for the general population and workers. Results recommended specific HBM-GVs for U-Cd levels in different age groups, with additional recommendations for B-Cd levels for workers.

Impact of Methylmercury and Other Heavy Metals Exposure on Neurocognitive Function in Children Aged 7 Years: Study Protocol of the Follow-up

Liza Vecchi Brumatti et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of prenatal exposure to low levels of mercury and other heavy metals on children's neurodevelopment through a prospective cohort study. It includes assessing maternal fish intake, child diet components, hair and urine samples for mercury levels, and measuring other potentially neurotoxic metals. Longitudinal analysis of neurodevelopment is conducted at different ages to adjust for potential confounders.

The European human biomonitoring platform- Design and implementation of a laboratory quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) programme for selected priority chemicals

Marta Esteban Lopez et al.

Summary: The HBM4EU initiative aims to obtain comparable and robust exposure data for a variety of prioritized chemicals in human samples. The QA/QC programme designed for this purpose involves two different approaches for different sets of chemicals, helping identify laboratories capable of generating consistent and comparable results for sample analysis. This programme serves as the first step towards establishing a sustainable European network of HBM laboratories.

Summary: Human biomonitoring of cadmium is crucial for assessing and preventing toxic exposure, with the EU aiming to harmonize and advance monitoring across Europe. The QA/QC program successfully established a network of laboratories in 20 European countries with high analytical comparability and accuracy, ensuring satisfactory results for most participating labs.

The European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU): Human biomonitoring guidance values for selected phthalates and a substitute plasticizer

Rosa Lange et al.

Summary: The widespread internal exposure of the European population to plasticizers has sparked the urgent need for toxicological interpretation. The European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) has significantly contributed to understanding actual exposure levels and their impact on health. Human biomonitoring guidance values (HBM-GVs) have been derived for various phthalates and a non-phthalate substitute, aiding in health risk assessment.

The EU Green Deal's ambition for a toxic-free environment: Filling the gap for science-based policymaking

Joanke van Dijk et al.

Summary: Despite the implementation of many ambitious environmental conventions and regulations globally, the environment continues to deteriorate. In response to this, the EU published a chemicals strategy for sustainability in October 2020, aiming to address chemical pollution in a holistic manner. However, the lack of a clear definition for key terms, such as toxic-free environment, in the strategy could potentially hinder its implementation.

Summary: The European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) establishes human biomonitoring guidance values (HBM-GVs) for substances such as BPA, using total BPA in urine as the primary exposure biomarker for BPA. Different HBM-GV(GenPop) values were developed for adults and children based on toxicological data, aiming to reflect a steady-state exposure to the temporary Tolerable Daily Intake (t-TDI) set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Christine Schulz et al.

Summary: The GerES is a study conducted by the German Environment Agency and the Robert Koch Institute to understand environmental exposures of the general population in Germany. The survey includes measurements of pollutants in human samples and homes, as well as interviews about health-related behaviors and living conditions. By ensuring representativeness through various examinations and surveys, the GerES results are intended to be reliable and informative.

Summary: The HBM4EU project established a prioritisation strategy to determine a final list of substances for research activities, based on knowledge gaps identified by policy makers and stakeholders, as well as scoring by experts and alignment with European policy priorities. The final list of 9 priority substances/groups reflected hazardous properties, exposure characteristics, societal concern, regulatory status, available analytical methods, and project resources.

Substitutes mimic the exposure behaviour of REACH regulated phthalates - A review of the German HBM system on the example of plasticizers

Nora Lemke et al.

Summary: Human biomonitoring is a valuable tool to assess the exposure of the general population to potentially harmful substances in the environment. The German HBM system consists of five pillars, focusing on the monitoring of plasticizers. The internal exposure to classical and novel plasticizers can be reliably monitored using this system, reflecting market changes and regulation effects.
