Chemical Selection Survey

California's new biomonitoring program will track and evaluate toxic environmental chemicals in California residents. Please use the link below to take the program's Chemical Selection Survey and tell us which chemicals you think the program should measure, and what you think should influence the choice of these chemicals. The survey is also available in a Spanish language version. The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete.
