Biomonitoring: Making a Difference

Using advanced laboratory science and innovative techniques, laboratory scientists at CDC's National Center for Environmental Health have contributed to the body of scientific knowledge about people's exposures to chemicals in the environment. By improving laboratory methods to measure selected chemicals in people; preventing health effects from exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment, and responding to terrorism and public health emergencies involving chemicals, the laboratory has been in the vanguard of efforts to improve people's health across the nation and around the world. This presentation offers an overview of the laboratory's National Biomonitoring Program and highlights examples of the laboratory in action.
