“Environment” Broadly Defined in NCS
• Physical environment:
– housing, neighborhoods and communities, climate, radiation…
• Chemical exposures:
– air, water, soil, food, dust, industrial products, pharmaceuticals…
• Biological environment:
– womb, infection, nutrition; inflammatory and metabolic response…
• Genetics:
– influence of genetics on disease; relationships between genes and the environment
• Psychosocial:
– influence of family, socio-economics, community, culture, stress…

• Km is the rate constant for free cortisol metabolism
• Ks is the rate constant for free cortisol transfer to saliva
• Ku is the rate constant for free cortisol transfer to urine,
• Kh is the rate constant for free cortisol transfer to hair
• CBG bound cortisol is bound to corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) in the blood

Lessons Learned for Children’s Exposome
1. Unique features and needs for children’s exposomeLifestage assessments matter!
2. Models are needed that link kinetic and dynamic features in order to understand the potential for exposure at specific sensitive lifestages, the form of the exposures in complex environments, and duration and magnitude of exposures related to disease outcomes that may happen at the same lifestage or much later in life.
3. Temporal specific exposures are useful for designing and evaluating interventions
4. Temporal considerations for children’s exposome are essential for predicting and identifying impacts during childhood development

After a series of presentations made in second and third grade classrooms, students were invited to enter a coloring contest. Winning entries were included in a calendar. In this drawing the woman tells the man to wash his own clothes, because she’s going to a dance…and she reminds him to leave his boots outside.
