The general population is experiencing lifelong exposure to old and new hazardous substances. By using data collected from a subject's own teeth, accuracy in determining the effects of exposure is assured since extrapolation is excluded. The establishment of a common tooth bank can provide means to integrate data from multiple sources. Comprehensive pollution information shared by the environmental, scientific and medical communities can lead to a more efficient approach to a worldwide problem.
普通人群正经历着对新旧有害物质的终身接触。通过使用从个体自身牙齿收集的数据，由于排除了推断因素，确定接触影响的准确性得以保证。建立一个公共牙库可以提供整合来自多个来源数据的方法。环境、科学和医学界共享的全面污染信息能够促成解决一个全球性问题的更有效方法。
