California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Program and Its Scientific Guidance Panel
The Scientific Guidance Panel (SGP) of the California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Program was established in legislation (SB 1379, Perata, 2006) to provide scientific oversight to the Program. The Program is a collaboration of three departments in California state government: the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the Cal/EPA Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), and the Cal/EPA Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). The Program will measure levels of environmental contaminants in California residents. This information will be used to identify emerging environmental hazards and to evaluate the effectiveness of existing environmental programs. Biomonitoring data will ultimately be used by policy-makers to protect Californians from environmental contaminants through better environmental programs and laws.
