This presentation focuses on the use of blood and urine as primary biological media in HBM, outlining key characteristics of selected biomarkers in each matrix. It provides practical guidance on sample collection methods, highlighting potential pitfalls and necessary contingencies. Strategies for aliquoting and storage are discussed in detail, emphasising the...

This presentation focuses on the concept and principles of Human Biomonitoring, specifically the classification and application of biomarkers, distinguishing between those used for exposure assessment, susceptibility evaluation, and research purposes. Highlights how the selection of specific biomarkers can provide insights into bioavailability and bioactivation over time, making them valuable tools...

Focuses on the health risks associated with asbestos exposure, emphasizing its link to a range of diseases including asbestosis, pleural conditions, and multiple forms of cancer. Highlights malignant mesothelioma as a particularly aggressive cancer of the pleura and peritoneum, primarily caused by asbestos exposure. Discusses current challenges in diagnosing mesothelioma...

Focuses on exploring the role of gene-environment interactions in disease development, using asbestosis as a case study to illustrate the combined impact of genetic and environmental factors. Highlights findings from a nested case-control study that incorporated cumulative asbestos exposure, smoking data, and PCR-based genotyping, with logistic regression used to assess...

This SOP focuses on standardising dermal exposure assessment to total chromium through wipe sampling, based on established IOM procedures and OSHA Method ID-125G guidelines. The protocol utilises SKC Ghost wipes to collect representative samples of hand contamination, supporting consistent and reliable monitoring of metals such as chromium, zinc, nickel, and...

Focuses on showcasing FAIR data collections through the use of dashboards, highlighting how persistent identifiers (PIDs), well-structured metadata, and institutional data presentation can enhance transparency, accessibility, and reuse.

Presents the use of salivary leukocytes as a non-invasive biomatrix for assessing DNA damage and repair in biomonitoring studies using the comet assay, including methodological optimization and validation of both fresh and cryopreserved samples.

Introduces the principles and applications of Non-Targeted Screening (NTS) using LC-HRMS, with emphasis on broader chemical characterisation, harmonised workflows, and methodological developments in the field.

An in-depth look at the development and validation of QSAR models for chemical risk assessment, covering molecular descriptors, statistical modeling techniques, applicability domains, and the principles guiding regulatory acceptance.
