The exposome from evidence to translation
ATHLETE
is an EU-funded project aiming to better understand and prevent the effects of many environmental hazards on human health from preconception until adolescence.
The project is developing a human exposome toolbox that can be used to evaluate environmental exposures in individuals and communities to design policies and interventions to prevent or reduce their health impact.
HEAL, a project partner of ATHLETE, is supporting this effort by
- Raising awareness of the environmental risks to human health
- Promoting and sharing the latest findings of environmental impacts on health
- Developing policy recommendations to safeguard people from the harmful environmental exposures
Project duration: Jan 2020-June 2025
Project partners
ATHLETE brings together 22 partners from eleven European countries and the United States, coordinated by the Barcelona institute for Global Health (ISGlobal).
Part of the European Human Exposome network, ATHLETE collaborates with nine other research projects to better understand the health impacts of a lifetime of environmental exposures.
