One Health Meets the Exposome: A Revolutionary Framework for Human, Wildlife, and Ecosystem Health

Author Mary Ann Ottinger brings together two powerful conceptual frameworks, One Health and the Exposome, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the biological, environmental, social, and cultural challenges impacting the interconnected health of humans, wildlife, and ecosystems.

The Interconnectedness of One Health

One Health is an encompassing concept and collaborative framework that recognizes the interconnections among humans, wildlife, and our shared environment. Its primary goal is to optimize health outcomes for all, promoting a holistic approach to health and wellness.

The Exposome: A Human Health Perspective

The Exposome, on the other hand, is specifically oriented to human health, considering cumulative environmental exposures affecting individuals, communities, and populations. It provides a more detailed understanding of the environmental factors impacting human health.

A New Era of Integrative Health: One Health Meets the Exposome

This book provides a broaden and integrative view, bringing together the One Health and Exposome frameworks to confront the complex health issues facing us today. By bridging these two concepts, researchers and practitioners can better understand the relationships between human health and the environment, and develop more effective solutions to promote health and wellness.
