Impact/Purpose:
Objectives for this task include the following:
o Investigate the current research on biomarkers of exposure for humans (ILSI documents).
o Develop better measurement methods and procedures for collecting biomarkers of exposure in human research studies.
o Conduct advanced statistical analyses on existing urinary biomarker data generated from EPA funded studies.
o Identify and provide valuable data inputs for modelers in their toxicokinetic and exposure models.
o Use modeling tools to understand the exposures of humans to chemicals related to biomarkers of exposure.
o Form a collaborative partnership with CDC to develop analytical methods for chemicals used as biomarkers of exposure in humans.
o Develop statistical methods and models to assess human exposures to chemicals of concern.
Description:
This is a presentation for EPA's 2006 Science Forum in Washington, DC. It discusses the important research area on interpreting biomarkers of exposure in humans.
