Environmental exposures refer to the contact or interaction that humans and other living organisms have with various physical, chemical, and biological elements in their surrounding environment. These exposures can include pollutants in the air, water, and soil, as well as radiation, noise, and other environmental stressors. Researchers in this area study how these environmental exposures can impact human health, wildlife populations, ecosystems, and overall environmental quality. They may investigate the sources of these exposures, the pathways by which they enter the environment and living organisms, and the potential health effects they can have. Key focuses within the field of environmental exposures include air pollution, water contamination, climate change, toxic chemicals, and emerging environmental threats. Researchers may use a variety of methods and techniques to assess and monitor these exposures, such as environmental monitoring, biomonitoring, epidemiological studies, and risk assessment. Overall, the study of environmental exposures is important for understanding and mitigating the potential health and environmental risks posed by various environmental contaminants and stressors. By identifying and addressing these exposures, researchers aim to protect human health, wildlife, and the environment from harmful impacts.
