Call	The Human Exposome Project: a toolbox for assessing and addressing the impact of environment on health
Description of call "The Human Exposome Project: a toolbox for assessing and addressing the impact of environment on health"	Deciphering the human exposome is a novel way of addressing the challenge to improve health and reduce the overall burden of disease. This will require improved knowledge of health risks, including combinations of several risk factors, and the mechanisms by which they affect health at different stages throughout the life course, including exposures in foetal life. Applicants should take advantage of the last decade's rapid technological advances which have opened up new opportunities to collect, combine and analyse large data sets offering new possibilities to understand the contribution of environmental factors to the global health burden of common chronic diseases. There are several specific components that should be considered, which can be found in the call text.
