Abstract

The FAIREHR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable Environmental and Health Registry) platform is a state-of-the-art online registry for prospective harmonization of human biomonitoring (HBM). It was developed by the HBM working group of the Europe Regional Chapter of the International Society of Exposure Science (ISES Europe) and is supported by the HBM Global Network. FAIREHR is designed to harmonize HBM metadata and support the implementation of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) Guiding Principles throughout HBM studies or programs. The registry enables preregistration of HBM by capturing key metadata on study design, metadata management, and planned methods before participant recruitment. This process enhances transparency and reproducibility in environmental and occupational health research. FAIREHR includes both study-level and program-level metadata. Its harmonized metadata template facilitates the storage of results (measurement data) in repositories such as IPCHEM and PEH. Here we outline the unique features of the FAIREHR platform, emphasizing its role in increasing research visibility, improving metadata comparability and harmonization, and strengthening the exchange of information. By supporting the effective use of HBM data, FAIREHR is expected to yield significant benefits for researchers, policymakers, and the broader fields of environmental and occupational health.
