©2014ElsevierInc.Allrightsreserved.Veröffentlichung New human biomonitoring methods for chemicals of concern̶the German approach to enhance relevance(2017) Fiddicke, Ulrike; Leng, Gabriele; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Angerer, Jürgen; Wolz, BirgitVeröffentlichung Challenges to evidence synthesis and identification of data gaps in human biomonitoring(2021) Virgolino, Ana; Santos, Osvaldo; Fiddicke, Ulrike; Costa, Joana; Kolossa-Gehring, MarikeThe increasing number of human biomonitoring (HBM) studies undertaken in recent decades has brought to light the need to harmonise procedures along all phases of the study, including sampling, data collection and analytical methods to allow data comparability. The first steps towards harmonisation are the identification and collation of HBM methodological information of existing studies and data gaps. Systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses have been traditionally put at the top of the hierarchy of evidence, being increasingly applied to map available evidence on health risks linked to exposure to chemicals. However, these methods mainly capture peer-reviewed articles, failing to comprehensively identify other important, unpublished sources of information that are pivotal to gather a complete map of the produced evidence in the area of HBM. Within the framework of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) initiative - a project that joins 30 countries, 29 from Europe plus Israel, the European Environment Agency and the European Commission - a comprehensive work of data triangulation has been made to identify existing HBM studies and data gaps across countries within the consortium. The use of documentary analysis together with an up-to-date platform to fulfil this need and its implications for research and practice are discussed. © 2021 by the authorsVeröffentlichung HBM4EU combines and harmonises human biomonitoring data across the EU, building on existing capacity(2021) Gilles, Liese; Fiddicke, Ulrike; Govarts, Eva; Rambaud, Loïc; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Vogel, NinaAs part of the Human Biomonitoring for Europe (HBM4EU) initiative a human biomonitoring (HBM) survey is conducted in 21 countries. This survey builds on existing HBM capacity in Europe by aligning national or regional HBM studies. The survey targets 3 age groups (i) children aged 6-11 years, (ii) teenagers aged 12-19 years and (iii) young adults aged 20-39 years and includes a total of 9493 participants (3151 children, 2953 teenagers and 3389 young adults). Depending on the age group, internal exposure to phthalates and substitute Hexamoll® DINCH, brominated and organophosphorus flame retardants, per-/poly-fluorinated compounds, cadmium, bisphenols and/or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are assessed. The main goal of the programme is to obtain quality controlled and comparable HBM data of exposure to chemicals, prioritized under HBM4EU, with European wide coverage to inform the development of environment and health policies. This paper describes the framework of the HBM4EU survey and the approach that has been applied to align European HBM initiatives across Europe. © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier GmbH.
