One Health & Exposome Day

The foundational basis for One Health can be found throughout human history in which the broadest definition describes humanity in delicate balance with nature and all aspects of our global environment. The concept incorporates humans, domestic animals, wildlife, ecosystems, and physical components of the global environment. The most recent usage of One Health has been in the context of disease transmission from wildlife to humans though it continues to broaden to encompass more aspects of the environment. The Exposome concept emerged more recently and at its core recognizes the effects of environmental exposures on an individual human’s health. It initially focused on environmental chemicals from a variety of sources, such as food and pollutants, and now also incorporates social and cultural environmental factors. This conceptual framework can be applied at any point in an individual’s lifetime. The One Health and Exposome conceptual frameworks have been successfully utilized worldwide to address local, regional, and national issues. It considers relatively high-level interactions and interrelationships among human, domestic animal, and wildlife populations that affect the health of all. Furthermore, the health and sustainability of ecosystems depend on these interactions and the health of all components.
