• disseminate up-to-date knowledge created within the HBM4EU Initiative, as well as recent activities highlighting the most relevant science to policy actions achieved so far. ​

 

The Scientific and Organizing Committees are pleased to invite everyone interested in human biomonitoring to participate in the 3rd HBM-PT. The main subjects to be addressed are:
