Child health and the exposome: What we learned from ATHLETE

The EU-funded ATHLETE project followed 80,000 pairs of mothers and children, revealing how daily environmental exposures — from air pollution, diets, and chemicals — impact children’s health into adulthood.

Our final resource highlights the project’s key findings on environmental exposures and child health. It also features new scientific methods and tools created throughout the project, and recommendations for policymakers and the public to mitigate these exposures and protect child health.
