On 9 and 11 December 2006 the Boston Consensus Conference on Biomonitoring took place.

Members of the panel identified and agreed on five priority areas of concern for further exploration and consideration:
 establishing responsible surveillance programs;
 using biomonitoring data to influence corporate and government behavior;
 educating the general public about biomonitoring;
 addressing issues of ethics, confidentiality and disclosure; and
 public policy.
