Book Description
Book & DVD. Biomonitoring is the assessment of human exposure to chemicals by measuring the chemicals of their metabolites in such human specimens as blood and urine. Most chemicals or their metabolites were measured in blood, serum and urine samples from random subsamples of about 2500 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This book explores the ongoing assessment of the exposure of the U.S. population to environmental chemicals by the use of biomonitoring. It provides unique exposure information to scientists, physicians, and health officials to help prevent exposure to some environmental chemicals.

Book Description
The Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, Updated Tables, September 2013 provides nationally representative biomonitoring data that has become available since the publication of the Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, 2009. The Updated Tables, September 2013 includes all the updates previously provided in Updated Tables, July 2010 through Updated Tables, March 2013. The Updated Tables, September 2013 present data for 91 chemicals measured in serum pooled samples that have not been reported in any previous Updated Tables. Since publication of the Fourth Report, 2009, 201 chemicals have updated tables and 49 chemicals have been added, for a total of 250 chemicals presented in these Updated Tables.

Book Description
Provides an ongoing assessment of the U.S. population's exposure to environmental chemicals using biomonitoring. The first report was issued in March 2001. This Report presents biomonitoring exposure data for 116 environmental chemicals in the U.S. over the 20-year period 1999-2000. Chemicals & their metabolites were measured in blood & urine samples from selected participants. For this Report, an environmental chemical means a chemical compound or chemical element present in air, water, food, soil, dust, or other environmental media (e.g., consumer products). Includes: metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, tobacco smoke, phthalates, phytoestrogens, pesticides, herbicides, pest repellents & disinfectants, & more.

Book Description
The Fourth Report uses a new procedure to estimate percentiles when the percentile estimate falls on a value that is repeated multiple times (e.g., five results that all have the value 90.1). Percentiles for all three NHANES survey periods (1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003-2004) have been re-computed by use of this improved procedure. Only slight differences should be noted when one compares the re-computations to previous releases of the Report. Details of this procedure are provided in Appendix A.

Book Description
“For Erin Brockovich fans, a David vs. Goliath tale with a twist” (The New York Times Book Review)—the incredible true story of the lawyer who spent two decades building a case against DuPont for its use of the hazardous chemical PFOA, uncovering the worst case of environmental contamination in history—affecting virtually every person on the planet—and the conspiracy that kept it a secret for sixty years. The story that inspired Dark Waters, the major motion picture from Focus Features starring Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway, directed by Todd Haynes. 1998: Rob Bilott is a young lawyer specializing in helping big corporations stay on the right side of environmental laws and regulations. Then he gets a phone call from a West Virginia farmer named Earl Tennant, who is convinced the creek on his property is being poisoned by runoff from a neighboring DuPont landfill, causing his cattle and the surrounding wildlife to die in hideous ways. Earl hasn’t even been able to get a water sample tested by any state or federal regulatory agency or find a local lawyer willing to take the case. As soon as they hear the name DuPont—the area’s largest employer—they shut him down. Once Rob sees the thick, foamy water that bubbles into the creek, the gruesome effects it seems to have on livestock, and the disturbing frequency of cancer and other health problems in the area, he’s persuaded to fight against the type of corporation his firm routinely represents. After intense legal wrangling, Rob ultimately gains access to hundreds of thousands of pages of DuPont documents, some of them fifty years old, that reveal the company has been holding onto decades of studies proving the harmful effects of a chemical called PFOA, used in making Teflon. PFOA is often called a “forever chemical,” because once in the environment, it does not break down or degrade for millions of years, contaminating the planet forever. The case of one farmer soon spawns a class action suit on behalf of seventy thousand residents—and the shocking realization that virtually every person on the planet has been exposed to PFOA and carries the chemical in his or her blood. What emerges is a riveting legal drama “in the grand tradition of Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action” (Booklist, starred review) about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental regulation; and one lawyer’s twenty-year struggle to expose the truth about this previously unknown—and still unregulated—chemical that we all have inside us.

Book Description
Biomonitoring—a method for measuring amounts of toxic chemicals in human tissues—is a valuable tool for studying potentially harmful environmental chemicals. Biomonitoring data have been used to confirm exposures to chemicals and validate public health policies. For example, population biomonitoring data showing high blood lead concentrations resulted in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) regulatory reduction of lead in gasoline; biomonitoring data confirmed a resultant drop in blood lead concentrations. Despite recent advances, the science needed to understand the implications of the biomonitoring data for human health is still in its nascent stages. Use of the data also raises communication and ethical challenges. In response to a congressional request, EPA asked the National Research Council to address those challenges in an independent study. Human Biomonitoring for Environmental Chemicals provides a framework for improving the use of biomonitoring data including developing and using biomarkers (measures of exposure), research to improve the interpretation of data, ways to communicate findings to the public, and a review of ethical issues.
