Biomonitoring: Chemicals in People
- Upcoming! Biomonitoring Summit
June 27, 2013. Click for details (PDF, 60KB).
Biomonitoring tells us about people's exposure to chemicals by measuring chemicals (or their breakdown products) in blood, urine, or hair.
The Minnesota Biomonitoring Program measures levels of certain chemicals and how the levels change over time in Minnesotans to promote healthy choices and protect future generations. The program also has established a Framework for an Ongoing Biomonitoring Program. For more, see:
Biomonitoring is useful to: (1) track changes in exposure over time, (2) identify groups who are most at risk for exposure, and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of actions and policies to protect public health.
