products that have helped billions of people live healthier, safer lives. We
support a balanced approach to biomonitoring that uses methods for testing
developed by CDC, relies on independent scientific groups (such as the
National Academy of Sciences) to help society understand how to use
biomonitoring information and focuses on real health threats from the broader
environment, not unproven health claims.
