Two Reports Related to the Selection of Chemicals for Biomonitoring in California
[02/23/09]

Two reports are now available related to the selection of chemicals for biomonitoring by the California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (CECBP):    

• Staff Responses to State Government Query on Chemicals for Biomonitoring
  This report of the CECBP summarizes state government staff input on which chemicals should be considered for biomonitoring.  The report also summarizes state staff suggestions on criteria for chemical selection.  The report distills and organizes the responses of state staff.
• Results of Public Participation Activities on What Chemicals Should Be Biomonitored in California
  This report presents the results of CECBP public participation activities conducted to obtain early public input on the selection of chemicals for biomonitoring.  The CECBP facilitated public comment by holding workshops and teleconferences and conducting a survey. In addition to the main report, there are eight appendices that can be downloaded individually.
  • Appendix 1.     Chemicals Studied by the CDC Biomonitoring Program
  • Appendix 2.     Excerpts of Legislation on Chemical Selection
  • Appendix 3.     Agendas for Public Participation Workshops and Teleconferences
  • Appendix 4A.  Survey on Chemical Selection (English)
  • Appendix 4B.  Survey on Chemical Selection (Spanish)
  • Appendix 5.     Tabulation of Specific Chemicals and Chemical Classes Suggested for Biomonitoring
  • Appendix 6.     Criteria Suggested for Selecting Chemicals to Biomonitor
  • Appendix 7.     Populations Identified by Survey Respondents. Workshop Participants, and Email Submissions
  • Appendix 8.     Chemicals Identified During Workshops and via Email
