This book explores human biomonitoring (HBM) as a method to evaluate
chemical exposure and its related health effects, with a specific
focus on environmental and industrial chemicals. This volume, together
with its companion “Human Biomonitoring I: Levels and Toxicokinetics
of Short Half-life Chemicals and Mycotoxins in Blood, Urine and Breast
Milk” provides a thorough overview of the presence of chemicals in
human samples, including blood, urine, and breast milk. The chapters
in this book cover a wide range of substances, including pesticides,
polychlorinated and polybrominated compounds, polycyclic aromatic
compounds, metals and elements, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated
compounds, flame retardants, and other industrial chemicals, including
microplastics. Each chapter provides a toxicological perspective,
detailing the chemical and physical properties, usage patterns, and
biological behavior of these substances in human matrices. Together
with its companion volume, both books are essential resources for
researchers, scholars, and professionals in environmental health,
toxicology, public health, and regulatory science. With extensive
tables, figures, and reference data, both books support informed
decision-making and provide practical insights into risk assessment
and chemical safety in everyday life.
