Tools for comprehensive exposure assessment developed by EXIMIOUS. The EXIMIOUS project has published its newest innovation: the EXIMIOUS Exposome Tool, a robust set of open-access resources to support accurate and holistic exposure assessments. These tools were developed to fill the gap in standardised methods for assessing the exposome—the totality of environmental and occupational exposures an

Supporting environmental and human exposure studies with an open-access Raman database. The EXIMIOUS project has released a powerful new tool to accelerate research on microplastic pollution: a curated open-access Raman Spectra Reference Library. This digital resource compiles high-quality Raman spectra from a diverse range of microplastic materials, enabling more accurate identification and classification of polymers

Many daily activities or hobbies may impact on our health, while most of us are unaware of any precautions we should take. But good news: the solutions are easy and within reach (open the window, wear a mask during the activity…etc.). Do you want to know how to protect yourself and your beloved ones? Take

Unni Nygaard from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health presented new research from the EXIMIOUS project at CYTO 2025, the leading international congress for cytometry. Her poster focused on immune profiling results from whole blood samples collected from Romanian miners, analysed using CyTOF (Cytometry by Time-of-Flight). The study aims to better understand how environmental exposures

The final issue of the EHEN newsletter is out! It features an overview of EHEN’s policy findings and an introduction to the International Human Exposome Network (IHEN), a new network that will bring the exposome community together and build on EHEN’s work in terms of tools and training opportunities. The issue also contains all the latest

The EXIMIOUS consortium held its final General Assembly on 26–27 May 2025, hosted by the coordination team at KU Leuven. The hybrid meeting took place at the Faculty Club in Leuven and online, bringing together project partners, the Project Officer (PO), the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and select external stakeholders to review the project’s progress

EXIMIOUS has just published a new tool as part of its toolbox: the EXIMIOUS Factsheets Tool. This tool features five comprehensive factsheets that present key population groups used to investigate how occupational and environmental exposures contribute to the development of immune-mediated diseases. Developed by EXIMIOUS researchers on behalf of the project’s 15 partner institutions, the

The European Human Exposome Network (EHEN) has released a policy brief urging EU policymakers to take action to address the rising public health crisis caused by pollution, chemicals and environmental degradation. The policy brief highlights key findings from EHEN’s extensive research, emphasising that environmental factors, from air pollution to chemical exposure, significantly contribute to the burden of

In our latest study  we quantified for the first time the systemic redistribution of crystalline silica particles deposited in the lungs of mice, using an innovative approach based on ICP-MS spectroscopy. Specifically, we demonstrated that 30% of inhaled crystalline particles translocate into extrapulmonary sites including immune organs – such as the liver (13%), spleen (2%),

The Occupational Exposome Week has concluded with resounding success, bringing together over 500 participants from across Europe and beyond to explore the latest developments in occupational exposure science. Held from 20–26 March 2025, this five-part webinar series was jointly organised by the EXIMIOUS and EPHOR projects, both funded under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 research
