Talk:Biomonitoring

Biomonitoring restructuring project
I spent a good deal of time working to improve an article that was once called Biomonitoring (chemistry) and the result is the page you see now. The article that resided in this space previously is now at Aquatic biomonitoring. This decision was arrived upon after some discussion with User:Shootbamboo. See the (full discussion here). As a note of disclosure for anyone who reviews these articles, the subject matter of this article is of interest to the American Chemistry Council (ACC), which is a client of my employer. ACC was a valuable source of academic research, however all editorial decisions are mine alone. And I look forward to continuing to improve Wikipedia's articles in this subject area.

Biomonitoring's "successes"
I remember seeing a story in Science, I believe, published a few years back, that also highlights some of biomonitoring's "successes". The whole decrease in leaded gasoline leading to lower blood levels, and the documentation of that is the only one I remember. This "highlight" should be incorporated into the article. Right now only biomonitoring limitations and interpretations appear to be highlighted. -Shootbamboo (talk) 02:02, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Biomonitoring Equivalents section
Hi, I have drafted a short section dedicated to the subject of biomonitoring equivalents in the dropbox below. I have done my best to adhere to Wikipedia's content and style guidelines, but as I am a new user, and have a WP:COI, as disclosed on my user page, I am hoping other editors would be willing to review the content and provide any feedback they may have. Please also feel free to make any recommended revisions to the draft in the drop box below.

Thanks for your time! - Unbachar23 (talk) 17:22, 20 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I have gone ahead and implemented the revisions proposed above after receiving positive feedback concerning the draft from an experienced editor on my user talk page. Recognizing that Wikipedia is a work in progress, I welcome any further feedback or suggested changes to the biomonitoring equivalents material.  Thanks for your time.

Revisions to interpretation section
I've drafted some updated material for the interpretation section providing additional context to the material in the current article, as reflected in the draft below. While I do not consider these revisions to be controversial, I wanted to propose them on this talk page before moving forward with the edits in case there are any suggested changes or feedback from other editors. - Unbachar23 (talk) 17:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Not having received any feedback over the past several days, I've gone ahead and implemented the revisions discussed above. As always, I welcome any suggestions or thoughts on this material. Thanks! - Unbachar23 (talk) 16:44, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Whole body burden in a radiological sense
Whole body burden is often used in the radiological context of a person or animal's total amount of a radioactive element. For example, Cs-137, Co-60, Iodine-131 are common environmental contaminants which can be easily absorbed by animals, plants, and humans after a radiological accident or nuclear weapon has exploded. This term needs to be discussed accordingly. In that context, the activity is used rather than the mass of the contaminant, especially because it is a lot easier to detect that way.
