Abstract The areas along the rivers Rhine, Ruhr and Wupper in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany, represent the largest urban and industrial agglomeration in Europe with about 10 million inhabitants. Human biomonitoring (HBM) studies have been conducted in these areas since more than 30 years, mainly designed to evaluate internal exposure to air pollutants. Recent studies were focussed on residents living near industrial sources. The contaminants studied comprise heavy metals, metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and markers of DNA exposure. Study groups were mainly children and elderly subjects. Human milk, blood, urine, teeth, hair and nails were investigated. Time trend analyses demonstrate a significant decline of exposure to many contaminants such as POPs and heavy metals. More recent studies suggest that there still is an increased internal exposure to metals, PAH and DNA damaging agents in children and women living very close to industrial sources.

Human biomonitoring (HBM) studies in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany, were conducted. HBM studies showed a remarkable decrease of exposure to lead and cadmium and of exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the general population of the highly industrialized regions of NRW. Elevated levels of internal burden with xenobiotics were shown, which could partially be explained by related environmental exposure. It was suggested to monitor the background exposure to POPs via food chain. The conclusion drawn was that in highly industrialized regions, hot spots that emitted specific substances above background levels, such as metals of PAH, existed and caused health concern for the exposed populations.
