A wide range of chemicals and chemical mixtures are released by human activity, including both legacy chemicals that have long been recognized as environmental contaminants and emerging chemicals of concern. Advances in analytical instrumentation, environmental monitoring, exposomics, and computational chemistry are paving the way towards a better understanding of the environmental implications and human health impacts of anthropogenic chemical releases. This symposium will showcase recent advances that contribute to our understanding of environmental contaminants, including the characterization of contaminant mixtures and structural determination of novel contaminants as well as exposure, toxicokinetics, and health impacts of these chemicals in humans and wildlife.
