There is an interdisciplinary interface between analytical chemistry and epidemiology studies with respect to the design, execution, and analysis of environmental epidemiology cohorts and studies. Extracting meaningful results linking chemical exposure to human health outcomes begins at study design and spans the entire workflow. Here we discuss analytical experimental design from an exposure science perspective, and propose a reporting checklist for the design of human biomonitoring studies. We explain key analytical chemistry concepts of blanks and limits of reporting and present a case series of plastic product chemical exposure in prenatal urine specimens from the Barwon Infant Study.
