"Chemical substances are everywhere—in air, soil, water, products, and food—and can enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. The Government of Canada uses a variety of methods, tools, and models to assess human exposure to chemicals (both natural and synthetic) and the potential effects that these exposures may have on human health. Human exposure to chemicals can be estimated indirectly by measuring chemicals in the environment, food, or products, or directly in the human body using biomonitoring. Biomonitoring information for Canadians is collected on an ongoing basis through the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). To date, three cycles of the CHMS have been completed, the first cycle conducted in 2007–2009, the second cycle in 2009– 2011, and the third cycle in 2012–2013. Health Canada’s Third Report on Human Biomonitoring of Environmental Chemicals in Canada presents national biomonitoring data on the Canadian population’s exposure to chemicals, collected as part of the CHMS. The Third Report provides information to scientists, health professionals, and policy makers on the levels of chemicals in Canadians. These measures are an important starting point for monitoring and research related to chemical exposure and to track trends in levels of chemicals in Canadians over time"--p. 1.
