Temporal variability of urinary microcystin-LR concentrations in healthy adult men: Recommendations for sampling strategy
Our study suggests that predicting an individual's long-term average MC-LR exposure level from a single spot urine sample is likely to result in misclassification of exposure. Collecting two or more urine samples from individuals at different time points substantially improves exposure assessment accuracy.
