我们建议将社会暴露作为综合环境健康研究的概念框架。环境科学家创造了“暴露”一词，目的是像科学家测量基因和基因表达一样精确地对环境暴露进行盘点和量化。迄今为止，尽管排除社会学专业知识可能会使复杂的社会现象分子化，并限制集体行动改善环境条件的可能性，但暴露理论的支持者并没有充分利用社会科学的理论和方法专业知识。作为纠正，并展示如何使“基因组学”技术与公共卫生更加相关，我们的社会暴露框架将社会学和公共卫生研究的见解与环境正义奖学金和行动主义的见解相结合。我们认为，环境健康科学需要更多不同种类的环境暴露的更全面的数据，但也必须考虑允许危害继续不受控制的社会政治条件和不平等。我们提出了一个围绕三个轴的多维框架：个人、本地和全球，并提出了一些社会标记和数据来源，可以识别每个层面的暴露。该框架还可以通过创建一个预测性框架来指导政策，帮助社区了解企业和监管做法对公共卫生和社会正义的影响。
We propose the socio-exposome as a conceptual framework for integrative environmental health research. Environmental scientists coined the term "exposome" with the goal of inventorying and quantifying environmental exposures as precisely as scientists measure genes and gene expression. To date, the exposome's proponents have not thoroughly engaged social scientific theoretical and methodological expertise, although the exclusion of sociological expertise risks molecularizing complex social phenomena and limiting the possibility of collective action to improve environmental conditions. As a corrective, and to demonstrate how "omic" technologies could be made more relevant to public health, our socio-exposome framework blends insights from sociological and public health research with insights from environmental justice scholarship and activism. We argue that environmental health science requires more comprehensive data on more and different kinds of environmental exposures, but also must consider the socio-political conditions and inequalities that allow hazards to continue unchecked. We propose a multidimensional framework oriented around three axes: individual, local, and global, and suggest some sociomarkers and data sources that could identify exposures at each level. This framework could also guide policy, by creating a predictive framework that helps communities understand the repercussions of corporate and regulatory practices for public health and social justice.
