The Hunters Point Community Biomonitoring Program launched as a pilot initiative in January 2019 dedicated to providing safe, low cost, accurate and compassionate testing and referral of Hunters Point residents and workers at risk of exposure to known toxins present at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard- a federal Superfund site and adjacent polluting industries. HP Biomonitoring was funded by the Packard Foundation in October 2019 and licensed by the Medical Board of California as a Screening Clinic in January of 2020.

HP Biomonitoring is the first human biomonitoring program to detect an "aggregate" of elements with known radioisotopes in multiple screenings of residents and workers on, and within a one-mile radius of the federal Superfund system at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. Six of the most commonly detected chemicals are Proposition 65 listed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. They are arsenic, cadmium, chromium, nickel, vanadium and radionuclides.

In March of 2009 a coalition of community scientists, environmental activists, BVHP leaders and representatives of Berkeley Laboratories and the newly formed Biomonitoring California program joined UCSF Professor of Pediatrics Carol Miller MD and San Francisco State/NASA air monitoring experts in submitting a $2 million grant proposal to NIEH to fund a community exposure research model combining human Biomonitoring with simultaneous room air and outdoor air monitoring focused on schools within the one mile radius of the Federal Superfund system at HPNS.

The momentum to establish the nations first community based human biomonitoring program serving residents and workers on and adjacent to a federal Superfund site began in 2009 when community, academic, and government researchers collaborated in submitting an NIEHS proposal seeking two million dollars in Community Exposure Research funds to detect toxins in residents of the heavily industrialized, overdeveloped region of southeast San Francisco.

In 1986, NIEHS established the Superfund Basic Research Program and in 1993, NHEXAS was implemented but in 18 months of operation, HP Biomonitoring became the first human biomonitoring program to detect - in concentrations exceeding reference range - an aggregate of toxic chemicals in urinary screenings of an exposed community including arsenic, manganese, and radioactive metals uranium, cesium, thallium, strontium, vanadium, cadmium, gadolinium, rubidium and potassium. These are chemicals of concern at HPNS and Prop 65 listed.
