Biomonitoring California’s Results Communication Approach

The Biomonitoring California program has developed an effective approach to sharing environmental exposure findings with both study participants and their communities. Moving beyond just delivering raw data, the program provides personalized reports that put chemical exposure results into meaningful context, comparing individual findings with state and national levels while explaining potential health implications. Through a combination of clear language, individualized reports, and community engagement, the program makes complex scientific information accessible without oversimplifying the science. Participants receive their results along with practical exposure-reduction strategies and additional resources, while community meetings and multilingual materials ensure this valuable information reaches diverse audiences. This thoughtful communication approach helps Californians understand their exposure to environmental chemicals while maintaining scientific integrity and transparency.
