Abstract
We interpreted observed urinary contaminant levels observed in our study by comparing values with health-based threshold values and/or values from international human biomonitoring studies. Using this data interpretation scheme, we identified two contaminants as being of potential public health concern and high priority for public health policy intervention: environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and OP pesticides. We used the data collected in this study to support public health policy interventions. We plan to conduct a follow-up biomonitoring study in 2015 to measure ETS and OP exposure in the general population in Israel, to evaluate the effectiveness of relevant policy interventions.
