How Human Biomonitoring Supports Global Chemical Safety

Milena Hovart explores how human biomonitoring (HBM) is being implemented worldwide to guide risk reduction, shape policy, and protect public health. From tracking toxic exposures to informing the Minamata Convention on Mercury, HBM helps governments assess chemical threats and act on them. Learn how international coordination, WHO-led training, and EU projects like HBM4EU and PARC are advancing comparable, science-based HBM programs—especially in vulnerable regions like the Arctic.
