Biomonitoring equivalents as a screening tool for population level biomonitoring data : a Health Canada perspective / prepared for: Task Force on Scientific Risk Assessment (TFSRA) ; prepared by: Working...: H129-66/2016E-PDF
"The specific objective of this report is to outline the utility of biomonitoring equivalents (BEs) as a useful screening tool for interpreting biomonitoring data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) and other Health Canada biomonitoring initiatives. In this report, derivation methods for BEs are described in relation to their potential application for Health Canada programs. Initially, background information on BEs is presented. This information is followed by a description of the objectives and nature of guidance for the development of BEs. The relevance and potential application are subsequently considered followed by a discussion of the current international context, including precedent for the use of BEs in interpreting biomonitoring data. Finally, recommendations from the authors are presented"--Purpose and scope, p. 3.
