Exposure mapping - combining wastewater analysis with human biomonitoring

该项目旨在从空间和时间上了解澳大利亚人口接触化学品的情况。该项目将使用2016年人口普查期间从100多个集水区（占澳大利亚人口的65%）收集的废水样本，在空间上解决人类暴露于化学品的问题。 然后，这些数据将构成使用合并剩余病理学样本进行重点人体生物监测的基础。 废水和生物监测数据的整合将有助于创建一个国家特定危害暴露地图，该地图可以与关于疾病风险和社会经济指标的地理空间数据进行比较（通过ABS信息）。 其好处包括有能力查明和管理对公众健康的接触风险。

This project aims to develop a spatial and temporal understanding of chemical exposure in the Australian population. The project will use wastewater samples collected from over 100 catchments (65% of Australian population) during the 2016 Census to spatially resolve human exposure to chemicals. These data will then form the basis for focused human biomonitoring using pooled surplus pathology samples. The integration of wastewater and biomonitoring data will allow the creation of a national hazard specific exposure map that can be compared with geospatial data on disease risk and socioeconomic indicators (via ABS information). The benefits include the capability to identify and manage exposure risks to public health.
