A video describing background, process, and results of the 2006 Boston Consensus Conference on Human Biomonitoring is now available online. The Consensus Conference gathered a group of 14 Boston area residents together for 3 weekends in the fall 2006 to learn about and consider issues related to biomonitoring, and to have their questions answered by national experts. The results of their deliberations present an important opportunity to provide public input on the topic to policymakers, researchers, advocacy groups, and others.
