    HBM4EU from the coordinator's perspective: lessons learnt from managing a large-scale EU project
    (2023) Hülck, Kathrin; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Gehring, Thomas; Pack, Kim Laura
    We discuss some important management issues of the Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) from theperspective of the Coordinator that may be valuable for the design and management of similar projects. As alarge-scale international collaborative project, HBM4EU comprised 118 institutions from 30 countries and theEuropean Environment Agency and had a budget of about âą 74 million. It has set up an innovative cooperativenetwork of national and EU authorities and scientific institutions at the science-policy interface. A project of thisscale raises major management challenges and requires transparent, efficient, and well-organized administrativeand scientific steering structures. We present four major points: First, prior to the beginning of the project, theConsortium Agreement needs to be well elaborated to prevent conflicts during the project lifetime. Second, astrong role for national and EU policy-making authorities in the administrative governance structure enhancesthe interest of recipients of project results. Third, large-scale international collaborative projects need an elab-orate and well-financed scientific governance structure. Fourth, a differentiation of funding rates among projectactivities threatens to create conflicts. HBM4EU provides a prototype for EU funded large-scale projects targetingfuture policies for realizing the Green Deal and Zero Pollution Ambition in the field of chemicals, health, andenvironment. © 2022 The Authors

    Time Patterns in Internal Human Exposure Data to Bisphenols, Phthalates, DINCH, Organophosphate Flame Retardants, Cadmium and Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons in Europe
    (2023) Martin, Laura Rodriguez; Gilles, Liese; Helte, Emilie; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Lange, Rosa; Pack, Kim Laura; Schmidt, Phillipp; Vogel, Nina; Weber, Till
    Human biomonitoring (HBM) data in Europe are often fragmented and collected in different EU countries and sampling periods. Exposure levels for children and adult women in Europe were evaluated over time. For the period 2000-2010, literature and aggregated data were collected in a harmonized way across studies. Between 2011-2012, biobanked samples from the DEMOCOPHES project were used. For 2014-2021, HBM data were generated within the HBM4EU Aligned Studies. Time patterns on internal exposure were evaluated visually and statistically using the 50th and 90th percentiles (P50/P90) for phthalates/DINCH and organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) in children (5-12 years), and cadmium, bisphenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in women (24-52 years). Restricted phthalate metabolites show decreasing patterns for children. Phthalate substitute, DINCH, shows a non-significant increasing pattern. For OPFRs, no trends were statistically significant. For women, BPA shows a clear decreasing pattern, while substitutes BPF and BPS show an increasing pattern coinciding with the BPA restrictions introduced. No clear patterns are observed for PAHs or cadmium. Although the causal relations were not studied as such, exposure levels to chemicals restricted at EU level visually decreased, while the levels for some of their substitutes increased. The results support policy efficacy monitoring and the policy-supportive role played by HBM. © 2023 by the authors

    Europäische Human-Biomonitoring Initiative erfolgreich abgeschlossen
    (2022) Apel, Petra; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Lange, Rosa; Pack, Kim Laura; Reiber, Lena; Weise, Philipp
    2017 wurde die Europäische Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) mit dem Ziel gestartet, die Schadstoffbelastung der EU Bevölkerung systematisch zu erfassen. Die Belastungen der europäischen Bevölkerung mit einer Vielzahl von Umweltschadstoffen wurden erstmals vergleichbar ermittelt, bewertet und bereitgestellt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Belastungen der EU-Bevölkerung mit vielen Schadstoffen, wie etwa bestimmten Weichmachern und per- und polyfluorierten Alkylsubstanzen (PFAS), zu hoch sind, und gesundheitliche Beeinträchtigungen nicht mit ausreichender Sicherheit ausgeschlossen werden können. Die Erkenntnisse werden an die politischen Entscheidungsträger weitergegeben und sollen bei der Verbesserung der Chemikalien-, Umwelt- und Gesundheitspolitik unterstützen, sodass letztlich gesundheitsrelevante chemische Belastungen minimiert werden. Der folgende Artikel gibt eine Übersicht über die wichtigsten Projektergebnisse.
