The 13^th International Symposium on Biological Monitoring will be held in Milan, Italy between 9-12 September 2025.

Attendees can look forward to cutting-edge sessions on topics such as analytical chemistry in biological monitoring, emerging biomarkers, biological limit values, major EU and international studies, and innovations in biomonitoring integrated with omics sciences.

PARC partners will also contribute to the event:
