Biomarkers may prove very useful in increasing the precision of exposure estimates during field epidemiological studies of environmental and occupational exposures. However, the determination of validity of exposure biomarkers is a laborious process. It is also a process that needs collaboration between laboratory and field scientists if biological markers of exposure are to be useful tools in environmental epidemiology.
在环境与职业暴露的现场流行病学研究中,生物标志物可能在提高暴露估计的精确度方面非常有用。然而,确定暴露生物标志物的有效性是一个费力的过程。如果暴露生物标志物要成为环境流行病学中的有用工具,这也是一个需要实验室科学家和现场科学家合作的过程。
