Abstract
The aim of this review was to summarise the available HBM data in DRC in order to provide recommendations for developing the HBM field. We performed a systematic search of PubMed/MedLine, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science for papers on exposure levels to chemicals in DR C (2009-2019). A total of 12 papers were found: 9 in Kinshasa (75.0%) and 3 in Katanga (25.0%). Globally, the results reveal concern about exposure levels to environmental chemicals, mostly heavy metals. Some studies connected HBM data to negative health effects (preeclampsia, birth defects, children's temperament difficulties, holoprosencephaly) demonstrating the importance of regulation in occupational and environmental settings. The recommendations of this review include expanding HBM studies as well as the number of environmental chemicals; and establishment of a national HBM laboratory for developing and/or enhancing the capacity of DRC to undertake a national policy-related HBM.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
