There are a number of aspects that must be taken into account in accurate estimation of exposure. Quantification of the magnitude and timing of personal exposures to agents of concern requires the identification of sources and media of concern, key exposure microenvironments, and routes and pathways of exposure that contribute most to an individual s exposure. Unfortunately, the information base on which to estimate emissions, concentrations, exposures and doses associated with each of these steps is sometimes completely lacking, frequently incomplete, not representative or otherwise uncertain. Given... 

The consistent manufacture and performance of current screening tests is a very important issue, however, much of the current information on the performance of screening tests is based on anecdotal information or personal experience of users. We need to have a well designed, objective evaluation of the state-of-the-art in the screening test area. 

EBM (evidence-based medicine) A relatively recent movement in medicine, starting with Archie Cochrane in 1972, and promoted by David Sackett and colleagues. It emphasizes the importance of objective use of best possible evidence in making medical decisions, as opposed to personal experience, anecdotal evidence, and so-called expert opinion. The motivation is to reduce the medical accident rate due to bad diagnoses and therapy decisions, and hence it is of considerable current interest. Information-based medicine may be considered EBM as assisted by IT (and it is now hard to imagine EBM without it).

Table 1 has proved to be useful to describe general trends with respect to field use of analytical instruments. Judgements with respect to the values entered in the matrix are those of the author based on evaluations of literature information and personal experience. GC-IMS [6] refers to a hand-held device based on a short column GC coupled to a CAM-based IMS instrument. A new technology, Transverse Field Compensation Ion Mobility Spectrometry [7], which has been subjected to only a limited amount of study has been included because of an indication of very good real time sensitivity. GC-FPD/FID refers to a gas chromatograph with a single column, a flame photometric detector (FPD), and a flame ionization detector (FID). GC-MS, a gas chromatograph - mass spectrometer, is well known.
