Biomonitoring Content Summary for the Canadian Health Measures Survey: Cycles 1–6 (2007–2019)
These chemicals have been measured or are planned for measurement in blood, urine and/or pooled serum samples collected from 2007 to 2019 as part of the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). The chemicals were selected based on known or suspected health effects resulting from exposure, level of public concern, evidence of exposure in the Canadian population, and technical feasibility and cost of measurement. In addition, factors such as emerging Health Canada priorities are considered while selecting chemicals for inclusion in the CHMS. Summary data for these chemicals have been published, or are planned for publication, in Health Canada's reports on human biomonitoring of environmental chemicals in Canada and scientific articles. The primary source of summary data for each chemical, when available, is provided in the table below.
