One of the aims European Human Biomonitoring Initiative, HBM4EU, was to provide examples and good practices for effective use human biomonitoring (HBM) data in health risk assessment (RA). The need such information is pressing, as previous research has indicated that regulatory assessors generally lack knowledge experience HBM RA. By recognising this gap expertise, well added value incorporating into RA, paper support integration Based on work we different approaches including RA estimations...
The risk assessment of pesticide residues in food is a key priority the area safety. Most jurisdictions have implemented pre-marketing authorization processes, which are supported by prospective assessments. These assessments estimate expected residue levels combining results from trials, resembling use patterns, with consumption according to internationally agreed procedures. In addition, such as European Union (EU) large monitoring programs, measuring actual food, and supporting...
Pyrethroids are a major insecticide class, suitable for biomonitoring in humans. Due to similarities structure and metabolic pathways, urinary metabolites common various active substances. A tiered approach is proposed risk assessment. Tier I was conservative screening overall pyrethroid exposure, based on phenoxybenzoic acid metabolites. Subsequently, probabilistic approaches more specific were used refining the estimates. Exposure 95th percentiles from HBM4EU aligned studies (2014-2021)...
Human exposure to mercury can have serious health effects, especially in vulnerable groups such as children and fetuses. The use of dried blood spot (DBS) samples collect capillary greatly facilitates sample collection fieldwork, being a less invasive alternative by venipuncture, needing small volume sample, does not require specialized medical staff. Moreover, DBS sampling reduces logistical financial barriers related transport storage samples. We propose here novel method analyze total...
In May 2016, a big fire occurred in an illegal landfill placed Seseña (Toledo, Spain), where between 70,000 and 90,000 tons of tires had been accumulated during years. Just after the fire, because increase airborne PAHs, we found that cancer risks for population living neighborhood were 3–5 times higher than rest inhabitants Seseña. Some months our initial (June 2016) study, two sampling campaigns (December 2016 2017) performed to assess temporal trends environmental levels as well reassure...
A risk assessment (RA) was conducted to estimate the associated with methylmercury (MeHg) exposure of vulnerable European populations, using Human Biomonitoring (HBM) data. This RA performed integrating published data from HBM surveys and earlier EFSA approaches (EFSA 2012). Children/adolescents (3 17 years old) women childbearing age (18 50 were selected as relevant study population groups for this RA. Two types datasets selected: studies (n = 18) mercury (Hg) levels (blood hair, total Hg...
The identification of new organisms for environmental toxicology bioassays is currently a priority, since these tools are strongly limited by the ecological relevance taxa used to study global change. Lichens sensitive bioindicators air quality and their microalgae an untapped source low-cost miniaturized with importance. In order increase availability wider range bioassays, sensitivity two symbiotic lichen microalgae, Asterochloris erici Trebouxia sp. TR9, atrazine was evaluated. To achieve...

Abstract Psychoactive substances, including drugs such as psychotropic pharmaceuticals, illicit and legal of abuse, other substances daily consumption, caffeine, are recognised emerging pollutants. The aim this study was to determine if these psychoactive can be transferred from the environment population through milk. Up 40 were analysed in various milk matrices, breast milk, infant formula, cow’s As for samples, a self-reported survey completed by each mother regarding consumption during...
