Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Human Biomonitoring in Health Risk Assessment of Emerging Chemicals" is a collection of research articles that explore the role of human biomonitoring in assessing the health risks associated with emerging chemicals. Human biomonitoring is a scientific approach that involves the measurement of chemicals or their metabolites in biological samples (such as blood, urine, hair, or tissues) collected from humans. This technique is used to assess exposure to various chemicals, including emerging contaminants, and to evaluate potential health risks associated with these exposures. This Special Issue would provide a valuable platform for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to share their latest findings and insights on the role of human biomonitoring in assessing health risks associated with emerging chemicals. By focusing on key areas such as emerging contaminants, biomarker development, population studies, health outcomes, and regulatory implications, this Special Issue could contribute to advancing our understanding of the potential health risks posed by these chemicals and inform efforts to protect public health.
