- Interpreting biomonitoring data: Introducing the international human biomonitoring (i-HBM) working group's health-based guidance value (HB2GV) dashboardPublication . Nakayama, Shoji F.; St-Amand, Annie; Pollock, Tyler; Apel, Petra; Bamai, Yu Ait; Barr, Dana Boyd; Bessems, Jos; Calafat, Antonia M.; Castaño, Argelia; Covaci, Adrian; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Faure, Sarah; Galea, Karen S.; Hays, Sean; Hopf, Nancy B.; Ito, Yuki; Jeddi, Maryam Zare; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Kumar, Eva; LaKind, Judy S.; López, Marta Esteban; Louro, Henriqueta; Macey, Kristin; Makris, Konstantinos C.; Melnyk, Lisa; Murawski, Aline; Naiman, Josh; Nassif, Julianne; Noisel, Nolwenn; Poddalgoda, Devika; Quirós-Alcalá, Lesliam; Rafiee, Ata; Rambaud, Loïc; Silva, Maria João; Ueyama, Jun; Verner, Marc-Andre; Waras, Maisarah Nasution; Werry, KateHuman biomonitoring (HBM) data measured in specific contexts or populations provide information for comparing population exposures. There are numerous health-based biomonitoring guidance values, but to locate these values, interested parties need to seek them out individually from publications, governmental reports, websites and other sources. Until now, there has been no central, international repository for this information. Thus, a tool is needed to help researchers, public health professionals, risk assessors, and regulatory decision makers to quickly locate relevant values on numerous environmental chemicals. A free, on-line repository for international health-based guidance values to facilitate the interpretation of HBM data is now available. The repository is referred to as the "Human Biomonitoring Health-Based Guidance Value (HB2GV) Dashboard". The Dashboard represents the efforts of the International Human Biomonitoring Working Group (i-HBM), affiliated with the International Society of Exposure Science. The i-HBM's mission is to promote the use of population-level HBM data to inform public health decision-making by developing harmonized resources to facilitate the interpretation of HBM data in a health-based context. This paper describes the methods used to compile the human biomonitoring health-based guidance values, how the values can be accessed and used, and caveats with using the Dashboard for interpreting HBM data. To our knowledge, the HB2GV Dashboard is the first open-access, curated database of HBM guidance values developed for use in interpreting HBM data. This new resource can assist global HBM data users such as risk assessors, risk managers and biomonitoring programs with a readily available compilation of guidance values.
- Shaping the future of human biomonitoring (HBM): progress, strategy, and global vision from ISES Europe and the HBM Global NetworkPublication .

Since 2018, the European chapter of the International Society of Exposure Science Human Biomonitoring Working Group (ISES Europe HBM WG) has aimed to facilitate generation of more and high-quality HBM data. The working group aims to strengthen integration of HBM data into regulatory frameworks through improved study design, harmonized methodologies, and enhanced reporting practices. Key achievements in the past seven years include the harmonization of HBM metadata through development of minimum information requirements for HBM (MIR-HBM), development of chemical-specific BASIC Guides for occupational health and hygiene professionals, and establishment of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) Environmental and Health Registry (FAIREHR) to enhance data transparency and reusability. Recognizing the need for broader impact, the HBM Global Network was launched in 2025 to promote worldwide collaboration, capacity building, and policy integration. Together, ISES Europe HBM WG and the HBM Global Network form a coordinated platform with shared governance, strategic priorities, and digital infrastructure. This short communication outlines the progress to date, strategic pillars guiding our work, and ongoing initiatives linking science, policy, and practice. We call on researchers, regulators, and stakeholders worldwide to join these networks, strengthen harmonized approaches, and ensure that HBM becomes a cornerstone of 21st-century chemical risk governance.
