Katherine Iritani (ed). Over the past decade, advances in laboratory technology have provided new tools for measuring a broad range of chemicals in human tissues -- tools that can help researchers & health officials assess how much of a chemical has been absorbed in the body & provide more accurate measure. of exposure to relate to potential health risks. This report reviews efforts to collect & use such information at both the state & Federal levels. It: determines the extent to which state & Federal agencies -- in particular, HHS & EPA -- collect human exposure data on potentially harmful chemicals, including data to identify at-risk populations; & identifies the barriers hindering further progress in such efforts.
