The California Body Burden Campaign (CalBBC) is a network of public health, environmental health and justice, faith and labor organizations working to establish a California biomonitoring program. Biomonitoring measures the “pollution in people” by analyzing blood, urine and breast milk samples to identify the harmful chemicals each of us carries as a result of our exposure to environmental toxins. The accumulation of these chemicals is known as our chemical “body burden.”
“ We are the bodies of evidence.”
–Nancy Evans, health science consultant
