Human biomonitoring investigations have provided data on a wide array of chemicals in blood and urine and in other tissues and fluids such as hair and human milk. These data have prompted questions such as a) What is the relationship between levels of environmental chemicals in humans and external exposures? b) What is the baseline or "background" level against which individual levels should be...

Complementary methodologies in air quality monitoring, such as magnetic biomonitoring, are currently implemented since atmospheric particle pollution is a relevant problem for human health and ecosystems. We carried out biomonitoring using transplanted species of Tillandsia recurvata T. usneoides to study their retention capacity airborne particles AMP, the influence precipitation, properties. ...

The use living organisms quality monitoring has received increasing attention recent years. Lichens, pioneer and colonizing organisms, are directly sensitive to environmental changes. This results a loss vitality or compl...

BACKGROUND The term "exposome" was coined in 2005 to underscore the importance of the environment to human health and to bring research efforts in line with those on the human genome. The ability to characterize environmental exposures through biomonitoring is key to exposome research efforts. OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to describe why traditional and nontraditional (exposomic) biomonitor...

BACKGROUND The routine use of biomonitoring (i.e., measurement of environmental chemicals, their metabolites, or specific reaction products in human biological specimens) to assess internal exposure (i.e., body burden) has gained importance in exposure assessment. OBJECTIVES Selection and validation of biomarkers of exposure are critical factors in interpreting biomonitoring data. Moreover, t...

In the last decades, the availability of sophisticated analytical chemistry techniques has facilitated measuring trace levels of multiple environmental chemicals in human biological matrices (i.e. biomonitoring) with a high degree of accuracy and precision. As biomonitoring data have become readily available, interest in their interpretation has increased. We present an overview on the use of b...
