ABSTRACT Engaging with the analytical categories of sex and gender in environmental health studies remains challenging in practice but promising with regards to research excellence and scientific benefit. The German Environment Agency reports on two case studies navigating this complex interaction in the fields of health risk assessment of environmental stressors and human biomonitoring studies. It is apparent that the levels of integration of the sex/gender theories and sex/gender data are differently advanced in research. In some areas the collection of sex-disaggregated data has just begun, whereas in others research started engaging with newer gender theories such as embodiment or intersectionality. The practical applications and obstacles in incorporating sex and gender dimensions into environmental health studies are presented and discussed.

环境健康研究中的性别和性别方法：德国环境署的两个典型案例研究

摘要 在环境健康研究中参与性别和性别的分析类别在实践中仍然具有挑战性，但在研究卓越性和科学利益方面很有希望。德国环境署报告了两个案例研究，在环境压力源的健康风险评估和人体生物监测研究领域中处理了这种复杂的相互作用。很明显，性别/性别理论和性别/性别数据的整合水平在研究中有所不同。在某些领域，按性别分类的数据的收集才刚刚开始，而在其他领域，研究开始涉及新的性别理论，例如具身化或交叉性。介绍和讨论了将性别和性别维度纳入环境健康研究的实际应用和障碍。
