Human Biomonitoring: What Our Bodies Reveal About the Environment presents a comprehensive overview of one of the most important tools in modern environmental health. Through chapters dedicated to blood, urine, hair, nails, and breast milk, the book explores how these biological matrices can be used to identify exposure to metals, pesticides, nicotine, emerging contaminants, and other substances present in our environment. It also addresses the fundamentals of toxicokinetics, biomarkers, key analytical methodologies, and the technological advances that are transforming the discipline. With an accessible yet scientifically rigorous approach, this book demonstrates how the body retains the imprint of our interactions with the environment and how biomonitoring helps us understand, prevent, and reduce risks to human health in a world that is becoming increasingly complex from a chemical and environmental standpoint.
