Understanding "Atmosome", the Personal Atmospheric Exposome: Comprehensive Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Modern environmental health research extensively focuses on outdoor air pollutants and their effects on public health. However, research on monitoring and enhancing individual indoor air quality is lacking. The field of exposomics encompasses the totality of human environmental exposures and its effects on health. A subset of this exposome deals with atmospheric exposure, termed the "atmosome." The atmosome plays a pivotal role in health and has significant effects on DNA, metabolism, skin integrity, and lung health.

Objective

The aim of this work is to develop a low-cost, comprehensive measurement system for collecting and analyzing atmosomic factors. The research explores the significance of the atmosome in personalized and preventive care for public health.
