2 Percentage [%] Concern about the environmental impact on health How does the environment influence your children s health? today in the future not at all little highly very much Source: GerES IV; question answered by parents HBM experiences in Europe, November 30 th 2011, Brussels 2

3 Two complementary approaches used in Germany German Environmental Survey (GerES) Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) Survey Period Sample size Greifswald (since 1995) GerES I ,700 adults Münster (since 1977) GerES II GerES III ,000 adults 730 children 4,800 adults Halle/S. (since 1995) GerES IV ,790 children 150 sampling locations of GerES IV Ulm (since 1997) Yearly sampling of 150 students in each sampling location HBM experiences in Europe, November 30 th 2011, Brussels 3

12 Systematizations of chemicals to be evaluated by HBM 120 chemicals with a) a potential health relevance or b) to which the general population might potentially be exposed to a considerable extent - Phthalates - Nano particles - Flame retardants - Aromatic amines - PFC and FC - Benzothiazoles - Chemicals used in cosmetics - Metales - Contaminants in food Musk fragrances - Allergenic substances - SVHC candidates (Art. 57) Germany s next HBM candidates HBM experiences in Europe, November 30 th 2011, Brussels 12
