Abstract 

The general population is experiencing lifelong exposure to old and new hazardous substances. By using data collected from a subject's own teeth, accuracy in determining the effects of exposure is assured since extrapolation is excluded. The establishment of a common tooth bank can provide means to integrate data from multiple sources. Comprehensive pollution information shared by the environmental, scientific and medical communities can lead to a more efficient approach to a worldwide problem.
