Personal monitoring is essential as it provides accurate and individualized data that can be used to study the health outcomes and risk factors specific to a person. This data can then be extrapolated to understand trends and patterns in larger populations. It helps in:
- Identifying Exposure Levels: By monitoring individuals, it is possible to determine the specific levels of exposure to various environmental hazards such as chemicals, radiation, or pathogens. - Evaluating Health Outcomes: This helps to correlate exposure levels with health outcomes, offering valuable insights for public health interventions. - Preventing Disease: By identifying high-risk individuals, personal monitoring allows for timely preventive measures, reducing the incidence of disease.
