Ranges we useGerman Human Biomonitoring Commission (UBA)
| Rating | Range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Good | below 1 µg/L | Below the HBM-I value. By the Human Biomonitoring Commission's criteria no harmful effect is expected. |
| Worth improving | 1 – 4 µg/L | Above the HBM-I value (1 µg/L for adults). A harmful effect cannot be reliably excluded. Repeating the measurement and looking for the source of exposure is recommended. |
| Talk to a doctor | 4 µg/L and above | Above the HBM-II value (4 µg/L for adults). By HBM criteria this is the action level. Consult a doctor. |
