Biomonitoring

Biomonitoring is the systematic measurement of chemical substances or their metabolites in biological specimens, such as blood, urine, or tissues, to assess exposure to environmental pollutants and their potential effects on health. This process helps identify and track the presence of toxic substances in individuals or populations, providing valuable data for public health research, environmental policy, and regulatory decisions. Biomonitoring can also inform the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing exposure to harmful substances.
