Exposure of the general French population to metals and metalloids in 2014-2016: Results from the Esteban study

CONCLUSIONS: Esteban provided a nationwide description of 28 metal and metalloid exposure levels for adults (some never measured before) and for the first time in children. The study results highlighted widespread exposure to several metals and metalloids. These results could be used to advocate public health decisions for continued efforts to reduce harmful exposure to toxic metals. The Reference values (RV95) built from Esteban could also be used to support future government strategies.PMID:38579993 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118744
