Aim
The overarching goal of HBM4EU is to generate knowledge to inform the safe management of chemicals and so to protect human health. Human biomonitoring will also be used to understand human exposure to chemicals and the resulting impact on health, as well as to communicate with policy makers, to ensure that the results are utilised in the development of political regulations concerning chemicals and in the evaluation of existing measures
