[Progress in the application of exposomics in risk assessment of environmental chemicals].

With the increasing number of environmental chemicals, the risk assessment system based on animal toxicity testing is difficult to satisfy the current demands and needs to be reformed urgently. With the wide application of high-throughput screening technology, the advantage of exposomics in risk assessment is gradually emerging. Exposomics aims to study the health effects of mixed environmental exposure at different stages of life (especially in the early stage of life) through the dynamic monitoring of external and internal exposure levels. Exposomics is introduced into risk assessment to systematically study gene-environment interaction so as to provide a reliable basis for the construction of exposure-biomarker-disease network. This review summarized the importance and application prospect of exposomics in risk assessment of environmental chemicals in terms of the research progress, application in risk assessment and existing problems, opportunities and challenges.
