In 1986, a research program, "Environmental Health Monitoring Based on Biological Indicators" was established, which had as its major objective "to develop methods that will indicate impacts on human health and which can be related to environmental factors" (Andersson and Gustafsson, 1989~. The focus of this program is to evaluate health effects of existing pollution levels, vulnerable human populations to environmental agents, and the synergistic effects of pollutants and other environmental factors.

No widespread environmental monitoring of human tissues was conducted as part of the program; however limited monitoring programs examining environmental pollutants in human hair, milk, blood, and urine have been performed locally.
