Detailed chemical listing: How do our cord blood tests compare to CDCs Third National Exposure Report tests?Question #2: Why test for chemicals in people?
Scientists and regulators use body burden data (biomonitoring studies) to estimate human health risks from exposures to industrial chemicals, to set public health policies that protect against these risks, and to track the success of these policies in reducing exposures. The applications of biomonitoring are rapidly expanding beyond its traditional use in occupational medicine and poisoning cases to new applications in measuring exposures and estimating health risks among the general population (Thornton et al. 2002, EWG 2003, Sexton et al. 2004, CDC 2003).
