Partnership agreement concerning the European Project HBM4EU : European Human Biomonitoring Initiative Hasselt University
European Human Biomonitoring Initiative KU Leuven
The overarching goal of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) is to generate knowledge to inform the safe management of chemicals and so protect human health. We will use human biomonitoring to understand human exposure to chemicals and resulting health impacts and will communicate with policy makers to ensure that our results are exploited in the design of new chemicals policies and the evaluation of existing measures.

Human biomonitoring of chemical exposure in the workplace: method development and application to chromates study. KU Leuven
The most used biomarker for the biomonitoring of Cr(VI) exposure is the total amount of Cr in urine. This biomarker is not specific for Cr(VI), since it measures exposure both to trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] and Cr(VI). Therefore, it is important to test the correlation between Cr(VI) exposure and more specific biomarkers in different work tasks. Even if the total amount of Cr in urine will remain the gold standard for the routine ...
