Abstract
The Health and Environment-wide Associations based on
Large population Surveys (www.HEALS-eu.eu) project, aims
to develop a methodology to collect data on internal and
external exposure within an exposome paradigm and to
relate this to health information. External exposure will
be estimated for a wide range of a priori defined agents
using a combination of environmental measurements and
exposure models. The core personal information comprises
location and activity, which can be obtained from small
unobtrusive sensors. Data on environmental levels of
various hazards obtained from sources such as fixed
location sensors, area monitors, and environmental models
will be combined with location/activity information to
provide estimates of personal exposure. We plan to
explore the use agent-based modelling (ABM) to fill gaps
in the data. This poster will set out the general
methodology being used in HEALS for external exposure and
discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the approach.
