ESBIO Conference on “State of the art of Human Biomonitoring within Europe”
The European Environment and Health Strategy adopted by the European Commission in 2003 (COM (2003) 338 final) presented a new vision on how to address environment and health in an integrated way and put health in the centre of environmental policy.
Action 3 of the Environment and Health Action Plan 2004 - 2010, adopted by the European Commission in 2004 (COM (2004) 416 final, volume I, COM (2004) 416 final, volume II), announced the development of a coherent approach to Human Biomonitoring (HBM) in Europe, in close cooperation with the Member States.
For the implementation of Action 3 of the Environment and Health Action Plan 2004 - 2010, a step by step approach has been set up. The Expert team to Support BIOmonitoring (ESBIO) project is preparing the launch of an European Pilot Project.
The objective of ESBIO´s Work Package I is to promote an European Inventory of Human Biomonitoring (EIHBM), an updated and extended data base of the existing HBM activities within Europe, to ensure integration of relevant activities and stakeholders in the development of a coordinated approach to Human Biomonitoring in Europe, and to initiate the creation of a platform for exchange on HBM experiences and expertise.
The aims of this Conference are: to get together providers of HBM information; to improve existing information on HBM; to identify expertise and institutions that are performing HBM research and surveillance activities; to provide a forum for discussion of problems in conducting HBM; and to stimulate exchange of experiences on human biomonitoring.
