| Description | This article introduces the Human Internal Chemical Exposome Atlas (iChemAtlas), a collaborative initiative aimed at systematically mapping the human internal chemical exposome using scalable multi-platform mass spectrometry. The framework integrates targeted and non-targeted approaches to characterize exogenous chemicals and their biotransformation products in human biospecimens. By generating an open and harmonized resource for chemical exposure profiling, the initiative seeks to advance biomonitoring, mixture toxicity assessment, and public health research, while supporting future applications in exposure science and precision medicine. |
