The early stages of life are particularly vulnerable to environmental hazards, with potential lifetime health consequences. This makes early life a relevant starting point for exposome studies and an important window for implementing actions to reduce adverse environmental exposures and prevent disease.

Through our environment we are exposed to a cocktail of harmful and beneficial influences on health. The human exposome encompasses this complexity by studying the totality of environmental exposures throughout life. It promotes a fundamental shift in how we study environmental impacts on health, by moving to a more holistic approach.

ATHLETE (Advancing Tools for Human Early Lifecourse Exposome Research and Translation) aims to better understand and prevent health damage from numerous environmental hazards and their mixtures (chemical pollutants, urban environment, lifestyle, socio-economic factors), starting from the earliest stages of life. The project will develop an exposome toolbox that can be used by researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders to evaluate the health effects of a large number of environmental exposures and underpin the development of prevention strategies.

ATHLETE is part of the European Human Exposome Network (EHEN) comprised of 9 projects selected from the same funding call.
