Division/Committee: [ENVR] Division of Environmental Chemistry

Our global economy exposes the environment and humans to tens of thousands of chemicals, with more developed every day. Understanding how these exposures, which represent an important part of the ‘Exposome’, impact our health and the environment is critical for the development of mitigation strategies. This requires the development of analytical techniques to measure exposures to complex mixtures and assess the resulting effects on a molecular, cellular, and organism level and via different pathways. The focus of this symposium is to encourage submissions that present novel research and development activities designed to improve the understanding of how chemicals exposures impact environmental and human health. This includes i) novel analytical approaches to identify and assess chemical exposures, ii) methodologies to elucidate the toxicity of chemicals if present as complex mixtures, iii) approaches to evaluate strategies to minimize exposures to toxic compounds, and iv) development and application of novel data analysis and machine learning approaches to elucidate chemical exposures and their health impacts.
