  7. Biomonitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomonitoring

    Surveys of human exposure to chemicals do not usually integrate the number of chemical compounds detected per person and the concentration of each compound. This leaves untested relevant exposure situations; e.g., whether individuals with low concentrations of some compounds have high concentrations of the other compounds.
