EXPOSOGAS 5th Newsletter.pdf

The EXPOSOGAS project is a 3-year Horizon 2020 Twinning project that aims to develop the research capacity of the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health (CII) in using human exposome methodological tools to assess, manage, and communicate health risks associated with hydrocarbons operations. The project focuses on the oil and gas industry in Cyprus, which is growing rapidly, and seeks to increase the autonomy and energy independence of the Southern European region. The human exposome is a framework for conducting research on the cumulative set of all non-genetic environmental exposures an individual experiences from conception throughout their life. EXPOSOGAS is interested in oil and gas operations that involve exposures to multiple chemicals and their collective impact on health. The project will promote the training and career development of CII researchers in occupational and environmental health sciences through training on the exposome concept and related technologies.
