About this video

Dr Groth reports on the efforts of the INGER project to create alternative definitions and representations of gender going beyond the binary evaluation of the sex assigned at birth to establish a measurement scale for human biomonitoring as a method for assessing exposure to chemicals or their effects by measuring these chemicals, their metabolites, or reaction products. Current methods deployed in human biomonitoring are inadequate and often ambiguous making it hard to interconnect data from different sources.
