The exposome in practice: Design of the EXPOsOMICS project

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
EXPOsOMICS is a European Union funded project that aims to
                develop a novel approach to the assessment of exposure to high
                priority environmental pollutants, by characterizing the
                external and the internal components of the exposome. It focuses
                on air and water contaminants during critical periods of life.
                To this end, the project centres on 1) exposure assessment at
                the personal and population levels within existing European
                short and long-term population studies, exploiting available
                tools and methods which have been developed for personal
                exposure monitoring (PEM); and 2) multiple "omic" technologies
                for the analysis of biological samples (internal markers of
                external exposures). The search for the relationships between
                external exposures and global profiles of molecular features in
                the same individuals constitutes a novel advancement towards the
                development of "next generation exposure assessment" for
                environmental chemicals and their mixtures. The linkage with
                disease risks opens the way to what are defined here as
                'exposome-wide association studies' (EWAS).
