Abstract
Biomarkers may prove very useful in increasing the precision of exposu re estimates during field epidemiological studies of environmental and occupational exposures. However, the determination of validity of exp osure biomarkers is a laborious process. It is also a process that nee ds collaboration between laboratory and field scientists if biological markers of exposure are to be useful tools in environmental epidemiol ogy.
