520 _a"What chemicals in your daily routine should you be most concerned about? The volatile organic compounds from your carpet? The exhaust fumes on the road to work? The pesticide residues in the apple in your lunch? Most of us are exposed to low levels of thousands of toxic chemicals every day. How can a person--or a nation--decide which substances should be controlled most rigorously?" (AMERICAN SCIENTIST) This article provides an overview of human biomonitoring, noting that "biomonitoring measures the actual levels of suspected environmental chemicals in human tissues and fluids."
