In an article published on July 19, 2018, by regulatory news provider Chemical Watch, editor Andrew Turley informed that the EU’s human biomonitoring project (HBM4EU) “has prioritized acrylamide [(CAS 79-06-1)], diisocyanates and benzophenone UV filters in its second list of priority substances and substance groups.” The list also includes “aprotic solvents, arsenic, lead, mercury, mycotoxins, . . . pesticides, including pyrethroid substances.”
