Europe maps chemical exposure in children and adults across 11 substance groups

A landmark EU study tracked hazardous chemical contamination in blood and urine samples from thousands of European citizens between 2014 and 2021, establishing the first harmonized baseline for 11 chemical groups. The data reveals where populations face the highest toxic exposures—critical intelligence for regulators setting safety standards and companies reformulating products to reduce chemical risks.
