"These bands were research tools, whose porous silicone made them ideal for soaking up chemicals in their surroundings. All were worn as part of a growing effort to understand just what is present in different environments and how those 'exposures' can affect health."
"At the intersection of public health and toxicology, these tools are fueling a new movement in exposure science. It's called the exposome and it represents the sum of all environmental exposures over a lifetime."
"Scientists think that if we knew every substance that a person was exposed to at every moment ever, it could give rise to dramatic improvements in the understanding of the causes and risk factors for disease."
