Key messages This project will analyse data from the HBM4EU initiative to uncover new insights into chemical exposure, its regional variations, and its effects on health. It will specifically focus on chemicals like PFAS, PAHs, pesticides, arsenic, and cadmium, using data from the HBM4EU Aligned Studies. By incorporating biological markers...

Key messages Further analysis will focus on assessment processes for specific hazard criteria across frameworks; theoretical analysis of the legal texts and guidance documents to investigate the data requirements and assessment processes. Case studies will be performed on specific substances to analyse what information was required to classify a substance...

Key messages Hazardous chemicals, environmental risk assessment, public health, wastewater-based epidemiology, non-target screening, mass spectrometry. Overview This project evaluates how effectively European regulations minimise the risks posed by chemical use, protecting public health and the environment. By monitoring chemicals in people's bodies across different European regions using a harmonised approach...

Overview Wastewater and wastewater plants are important sources of information for advancing scientific understanding of human exposure to chemical substances. By measuring specific markers, such as human metabolites, in wastewater in wastewater treatment plants, we can significantly contribute to a better management of chemicals that threaten both public health and...
