ā€‹Findings from the California Regional Exposure (CARE) Study

What have we learned from the CARE Study?

Biomonitoring California will host a webinar to present findings from the CARE Study on Thursday, April 18, 2024, from 1:00 ā€“ 2:00 pm. 

Register for the webinar today.ā€‹

As part of this biomonitoring study, hundreds of volunteers donated urine and blood samples to be tested for metals and other chemicals of concern, including PFASs (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances). At this webinar, we will share what we have learned about exposures to these chemicals in California, and how this information can be used to make a healthier state and future for all Californians.
