European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU)
Project
Project code: BfR-LMS-08-1342-518
Contract period: 01.01.2017
- 31.12.2021
Purpose of research: Networks and research co-ordination
HBM4EU is a joint effort of 26 countries, the European Environment Agency and the European Commission, co-funded under Horizon 2020. The main aim of the initiative is to coordinate and advance human biomonitoring in Europe. To support policy making, HBM4EU will provide better evidence of the actual exposure of citizens to chemicals and the possible health effects. The HBM4EU initiative represents a novel collaboration between scientists and chemical risk assessors and risk managers, including several Commission services, EU agencies and national representatives. The project will build bridges between the research and policy worlds and deliver benefits to society in terms of enhanced chemical safety. HBM4EU will run for five years, from 2017 to 2021. In developing priorities for HBM4EU under the first annual work plan, the consortium conducted a prioritisation exercise to identify those substances to be the focus of activities. Additional rounds of prioritisation will be carried out during the project lifespan to ensure that the research responds dynamically to policy needs. BfR is one of the 69 linked third parties involved in the project and works for Workpackages 5 (Translation of results into policy), 12 (From HBM to exposure) and 14 (Effect biomarkers).
