a The number of constituents may vary per compound. Numbers are given for cadmium as a proxy, because Cd measurements are easy and cheap and generally are measured in all participating constituents bThe human biomonitoring program of the last GerES (GerES IV) included: Lead, cadmium, mercury in blood HCB, 3HCHs, DDE, PCB 138, 153, 180, 28, 52, 101 in blood Nickel, mercury, arsenic, uranium, nicotine, cotinine, 6 metabolites of organophosphates, PCP and 9 other chlorophenols, 5 PAH metabolites, 5 pyrethroid metabolites in urine. In addition: 11 phthalate matabolites in urine Bisphenol A in urine Three additional PAH (like tetrol) All in all 61 substances for human biomonitoring. More substances in the additional programs on indoor air (VOC), dust (flame retardants), drinking water and biological indoor contamination (personal communication Becker and Kolossa, 2008) c Depending on the age group considered d The ESBIO program is a proposed program according to Action 3 of the Environment and Health Action plan 2004–2010 | |||
