Personal chemical exposure assessment is necessary to determine the frequency and magnitude of individual chemical exposures, especially since chemicals present in everyday environments may lead to adverse health outcomes. In the last decade, silicone wristbands have emerged as a new chemical exposure assessment tool and have since been utilized for assessing personal exposure to a wide range of chemicals in a variety of populations. Silicone wristbands can be powerful tools for quantifying personal exposure to chemical mixtures in a single sample, associating exposure with health outcomes, and potentially overcoming some of the challenges associated with quantifying the chemical exposome. However, as their popularity grows, it is crucial that they are used in the appropriate context and within the limits of the technology. This review serves as a guide for researchers interested in utilizing silicone wristbands as a personal exposure assessment tool. Along with briefly discussing the passive sampling theory behind silicone wristbands, this review performs an in-depth comparison of wristbands to other common exposure assessment tools, including biomarkers of exposure measured in biospecimens, and evaluates their utility in exposure assessments and epidemiological studies. Finally, this review includes recommendations for utilizing silicone wristbands to evaluate personal chemical exposure and provides suggestions on what research is needed to recognize silicone wristbands as a premier chemical exposure assessment tool.

个人化学品暴露评估对于确定个人化学品暴露的频率和程度是必要的，特别是因为日常环境中存在的化学品可能会导致不良的健康后果。在过去的十年中，硅胶腕带已成为一种新的化学品暴露评估工具，并已用于评估各种人群对各种化学品的个人暴露情况。硅胶腕带可以成为量化个人在单个样本中接触化学混合物的强大工具，将接触与健康结果联系起来，并有可能克服与量化化学暴露组相关的一些挑战。然而，随着它们的普及，在适当的环境和技术限制内使用它们至关重要。该评论可为有兴趣利用硅胶腕带作为个人暴露评估工具的研究人员提供指导。除了简要讨论硅胶腕带背后的被动采样理论外，本综述还对腕带与其他常见暴露评估工具（包括生物样本中测量的暴露生物标志物）进行了深入比较，并评估了它们在暴露评估和流行病学研究中的效用。最后，本次审查包括使用硅胶腕带评估个人化学品暴露的建议，并就需要进行哪些研究来将硅胶腕带视为首要的化学品暴露评估工具提供建议。
