Biological sampling

In the EPHOR project, the relation between the working-life exposome (occupational as well as non-occupational factors) and non-communicable diseases is studied. This includes the targeted and agnostic common biomonitoring, omics and bioassays on traditional biological matrices in addition to method development for non-invasive monitoring. Methods are applied for the following media:

• Urine
• Saliva
• Blood
• Exhaled breath
• Exhaled breath aerosols
• Exhaled breath condensate

Protocols for the various media are included below. 

For more details about the use of these methods in EPHOR, see: Application in EPHOR
