International Human Exposome Network
EU-funded project building a worldwide network to improve global research and cooperation on the human exposome.
The International Human Exposome Network has been launched at the European Parliament during the high-level event “A Political Blueprint for Healthier People and Cities in Europe – The Exposome Momentum.”
About the exposome
The environment has a major impact on our health.
Exposure to air pollution and harmful chemicals, or a lack of access to a balanced diet or green spaces like parks, are examples of factors that can negatively impact health and potentially increase the risk of developing various diseases.
The human exposome refers to the totality of environmental exposures that we are exposed to throughout our lifetime, starting from conception and pregnancy. Understanding the human exposome is important to help policymakers identify and address harmful exposures.
The International Human Exposome Network (IHEN)
With up to 80-90% of disease risk linked to exposome factors, it's time to shift from reactive healthcare to proactive, prevention-focused strategies. The exposome offers a powerful framework to integrate environment, urban planning, chemicals regulation, and social policy into one holistic approach — with cities as key drivers of innovation.
Let’s empower governments, regions, cities, and citizens to lead this change.
The International Human Exposome Network (IHEN) project aims to build a world-wide network to collaborate on and improve human exposome research. The network will bring together researchers, policymakers, and independent experts to enhance the impact of future studies in this field.
