Biomonitoring provides a measure of internal doses of environmental chemicals or agents and allows for a more accurate measure of human health risk from these chemical exposures.

Description

On June 19, 2013, the Government of Alberta launched Together We Raise Tomorrow, a public engagement on how to better support the well-being, safety, security, education, and health of all children in Alberta.
