What are the NHANES environmental chemical data?
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) environmental chemical data provide information on environmental exposures based on measures of environmental chemicals or based on metabolites in blood or urine specimens. These data are collected during the laboratory exam in the Mobile Examination Center (MEC) and are used for bio-monitoring of chemical exposures in the United States.
