Exposure Biology and the Exposome

URL:
https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/supported/exposure/bio/index.cfm
Additional Information:
A better understanding of the complex nature of how a person’s environment contributes to their health requires sustained development of technology to measure exposures. This includes better biomarkers, new sensors and monitors, and remote detection of exposures. A major goal of both the 2012-2017 and 2018-2023 NIEHS Strategic Plans is to promote exposome research and create a blueprint to incorporate exposure science into human health studies. NIEHS is transforming exposure science by improving characterization of environmental exposures, defining and disseminating the concept of the exposome, and creating the necessary tools and technologies to measure it.
