Title: First Steps toward Harmonized Human Biomonitoring in Europe: Demonstration Project to Perform Human Biomonitoring on a European Scale

Conclusions: We have taken the first steps to assess personal chemical exposures in Europe as a whole. Key success factors were the harmonised protocol development, intensive training and capacity building for field work, chemical analysis and communication, as well as stringent quality control programs for chemical and data analysis. Our project demonstrates the feasibility of a European-wide human biomonitoring framework to support the decision-making process of environmental measures to protect public health.
