Transforming our understanding of the chemical exposome. Despite many benefits associated with the use of chemicals, there is consensus that their accelerated production and use is increasingly affecting environmental health.

Despite many benefits associated with the use of chemicals, there is consensus that their accelerated production and use is increasingly affecting environmental health. Effective tools to understand spatiotemporal trends and factors that drive chemical exposure are urgently needed. This project aims to develop these tools by combining established programs in systematic sampling and archiving with advanced informatics and analytical techniques. The project expects to identify emerging chemicals of concern, assess factors that affect exposure and model exposure based on chemical production, use and fate. Outcomes will support evidence-based regulation and management of chemicals to minimise adverse impacts of chemical exposure in Australia.Read moreRead less
Understanding changes in chemical exposure through integrative sampling and systematic archiving. Poor data on exposure limits our understanding of the effects of chemical exposure on health. This project will aim to develop population-based exposure monitoring strategies to measure exposure, exposure trends, the success of intervention strategies and associations between exposure and health outcomes.
