Biomonitoring equivalents: a screening approach for interpreting biomonitoring results from a public health risk perspective
TL;DR: Issues inherent in converting existing health screening benchmarks based on intake doses to screening levels for evaluating biomonitoring data are discussed, and methods and approaches that can be used to derive such screening levels are presented for a range of chemicals and biological media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age as a determinant of phosphate flame retardant exposure of the Australian population and identification of novel urinary PFR metabolites
Nele Van den Eede,Amy Heffernan,Lesa L. Aylward,Peter Hobson,Hugo Neels,Jochen F. Mueller,Adrian Covaci +6 more
TL;DR: Significantly greater levels of BDCIPP and DPHP were found in children's urine compared with adults, suggesting higher exposure to PFRs in young children and BCIPHIPP was identified for inclusion in future PFR biomonitoring studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper provides guidance on methods for conveying information to the general public, the health care community, regulators and other interested parties regarding how chemical-specific BEs are derived, what they mean in terms of health, and the challenges and questions related to interpretation and communication of biomonitoring data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human biomonitoring assessment values: Approaches and data requirements
TL;DR: Efforts to date have resulted in the publication of HBM assessment values for more than 80 chemicals, and now provide tools that can be used for the evaluation of H BM data across chemicals and populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dioxin risks in perspective: past, present, and future
Sean M. Hays,Lesa L. Aylward +1 more
TL;DR: There is a several-fold reduction in exposures and body burdens in the general population over the three decades from 1970 to 2000, and further efforts to reduce exposures through attempts to control emissions or food levels should be carefully evaluated to understand the likely efficacy of the efforts and the relative costs and benefits.
