Abstract

VICENTE-HERRERO, M.ª Teofila et al. Exposome: a new concept in Occupational and Public Health. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.3, pp.176-183. ISSN 3020-1160.

Advancement of scientific knowledge incorporates new technologies and new concepts as well. In Environmental and Occupational Toxicology has been incorporated in the last years a new term, exposome, encompassing all environmental exposures from conception onwards. It arises as a new strategy to evidence environmental disease risk factors and supposes a research challenge on many related aspects, especially with regard to the evaluation of the risk from exposure, that several hundreds of time-varying exposures need to be considered and Statistical Challenges, as currently existing statistical methods cannot efficiently untangle the exposures truly affecting the health outcome from correlated exposures. We review here some of the major publications on this topic in recent years, its focus on Occupational Health and impact on Public Health.

Keywords : Exposome; Toxicity; Occupational Health; Public Health.
