This new Special Issue from Environmental Science & Technology, “The Exposome and Human Health,” strives to capture the diversity and range of life-long exposures to a wide range of external factors (e.g., chemicals, diet, psychosocial stressors or physical factors), and their internal biological responses. The theme, Exposome, is defined as the “totality of environmental exposures from conception onwards.”
The Special Issue is seeking high-quality research articles on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Novel and innovative approaches for human biomonitoring and human exposome for a broad range of chemicals, including persistent organic pollutants, emerging contaminants (e.g., EDCs, PFAS) and microplastics.
- Exposure assessment and epidemiology of indoor and outdoor air quality, diet, drinking water.
- Environmental exposures and multi-omics.
- Novel and innovative study design (e.g., natural experiment design), to establish causality of the relationship between environmental exposures and human health across the life course.
- Modelling and impact of chemicals of emerging concern on human exposure and human exposome in general.
- Innovative studies focused on the link between ecosystem health and human health and their input on chemicals policy and regulation.
- Application of interdisciplinary research (omics/system biology, environmental epidemiology, toxicology) to better understand adverse health outcomes and their environmental origins.
The theme, Exposome, is defined as the 'totality of environmental exposures from conception onwards.'
