HBM single value exposures from data

Human monitoring data characterise human exposure to substances, their metabolites in body fluids or tissues. Human monitoring data privacy requires organizations to balance their legitimate interests with individuals’ fundamental right to privacy by adhering to data protection laws like the GDPR, which mandates lawful bases for processing, transparent practices, minimizing data collection, and performing Data Protection Impact Assessments, DPIA, for high-risk monitoring activities. For summary statistics like percentiles, regulations are less strict and these data can be used instead. Probability distributions are fitted to discrete data allowing estimation of the parameters for that distribution.
