A revised concept for deriving reference values for internal exposures to chemical substances and its application to population-representative biomonitoring data in German children and adolescents 2014-2017 (GerES V)
Int J Hyg Environ Health. 2023 Aug 12;253:114236. doi: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2023.114236. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHBM reference values, in contrast to toxicologically derived values, are statistically derived values that provide information on the exposure of the population. The exceedance frequency (if applicable for individual population groups) is often a first assessment standard for the local exposure situation for municipalities. More than 25 years have passed since the German Human Biomonitoring Commission (HBMC) formulated the first recommendations for the derivation of population-based reference values (HBM refere...

Legionella in drinking water: the detection method matters
J Water Health. 2023 Jul;21(7):884-894. doi: 10.2166/wh.2023.035.ABSTRACTLegionella concentrations in drinking water have been regulated for decades and are evaluated with regard to their concentrations in drinking water plumbing systems (DWPS). The respective action levels differ at the international level. In Germany, the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) specifies the application of ISO 11731 for the detection of legionella in drinking water and gives a binding recommendation for the methods to be used for culturing and evaluation. Effective from 01 March 2019, the UBA recommendation was revised. The utilized culture med...
