in-house toxicity data generated using in silico and in vitro methods;
existing environmental and health databases;
individual exposure and health data.

To collect these data, Sciensano regularly conducts field studies using a variety of tools and methods, including:

monitoring devices (such as silicone wristbands used to assess exposure to environmental contaminants);
questionnaires;
participant interviews;
human biomonitoring analyses of biological samples to evaluate environmental exposure, potential health effects and susceptibility factors.

These data are complemented by datasets provided by a wide range of partners, including Belgian Federal Public Services, universities and other research organisations.
