Fig. 1: Overview of the stepwise strategy for identifying FCCs with evidence for human exposure.
From: Evidence for widespread human exposure to food contact chemicals

We compared known FCCs to biomonitoring programs and metabolome/exposome databases (step 1) and systematically mapped the evidence for presence of additional, priority FCCs in humans (step 2). The results of steps 1 and step 2 (red boxes) comprise the Database of Food Contact Chemicals Monitored in Humans (FCChumon).
