How can the public become involved with Biomonitoring California?

Public input is critical to the implementation of Biomonitoring California.  Opportunities to provide input on different aspects of implementation, including selecting chemicals to be measured, will be available at public meetings and workshops, Scientific Guidance Panel meetings, and via internet-based surveys.
