Organic-metal mixtures and neurodevelopment

Project Summary The study of chemical mixtures is a high priority as mixtures represent the real-life exposure scenarios that impact health. Mixtures are methodologically similar to studying the exposome (i.e. the study of all health relevant exposures) and research on new methods to measure and analyze higher order mixtures will inform future exposomic research. We have developed a tooth-based exposure biomarker that measures prenatal and childhood exposure to elements and organic environmental chemicals that reduces exposure misclassification and can accurately estimate both dose and timing of exposure. In our first grant cycle we established the biomarker for a mixture of Pb, Mn, Zn, As…
