Abstract
In recognition of the importance of environmental specimen banking (ESB) as an important component of the described ongoing real-time environmental and health-related monitoring programmes, a proposal for a planned ESB pilot study in the Czech Republic is presented. Selection of biomonitors, analytes, sampling techniques and sites is discussed, especially with regard to the possible harmonization with ESB already operational abroad. Availability of validated analytical techniques for determination of up to 30 elements using nuclear and spectroscopic techniques, including speciation of several metals, and of the most important organic pollutants employing various chromatographic techniques in biological and environmental samples is demonstrated.
