(a) All participants shall be evaluated for the presence of
designated chemicals as a component of the biomonitoring process.
Participants shall be provided with information and fact sheets about
the program's activities and its findings. Individual participants
may request and shall receive their complete results. Any results
provided to participants shall be subject to the Institutional Review
Board protocols and guidelines. When either physiological or
chemical data obtained from a participant indicate a significant
known health risk, program staff experienced in communicating
biomonitoring results shall consult with the individual and recommend
followup steps, as appropriate. Program administrators shall receive
training in administering the program in an ethical, culturally
sensitive, participatory, and community-based manner.
   (b) Individuals selected to participate in the biomonitoring
program shall reflect the age, economic, racial, and ethnic
composition of the state. Other selection criteria may be applied, as
appropriate, for studies of specific populations.
   (c) Informational materials and outreach activities directed to
program participants and communities shall, to the extent possible,
be culturally appropriate and translated as needed. Educational
materials shall be adapted to the biological specimens being used.
