BERLIN — A $5.1 million federal grant will allow the state to test Berlin residents to see if they have higher than average levels of chemicals in their systems.

The N.H. Public Health Laboratories was awarded a five-year grant by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for its biomonitoring program. The program measures chemicals in human blood and urine in an effort to understand how exposure to contaminants impact health.
