What Methods are Used in Longitudinal Exposure Assessments?
Several methods are employed in longitudinal exposure assessments, including biomonitoring, environmental sampling, and the use of questionnaires to gather exposure histories. Biomonitoring involves measuring chemicals or their metabolites in biological specimens like blood or urine. Environmental sampling may involve air, water, or soil testing to assess external exposure. Questionnaires help in understanding lifestyle factors and occupational exposures.
