Characterization of the world population’s exposomes 

Environmental variables such as air pollution, noise, floods, green space and conflict , shape human health and disease. An important concept is the human exposome, the totality of an individual’s exposure to the environment over their lifetime. The exposome can explain a large proportion of our health, yet quantification across the world population remains surprisingly limited. As we are facing global climate and population change, it becomes increasingly important to understand and quantify the exposome. However, existing studies are often small-scale, do not integrate human mobility affecting personal exposure or focus on narrow sets of variables, thereby failing to capture the full range of socioeconomic and physical variables and values. Harmonized global scale quantitative assessments of the entire exposomes of the world population remain limited. We address this by collecting data sets on environmental variables for a wide range of geo-domains at high resolution (
