This document outlines the agenda for a day-long session on measuring the exposome and its application in workplace settings. The session will include introductions, definitions of the exposome, methods for tracking personal locations and activities, low-cost sensors for measuring external exposures, biomarkers for internal exposures, constructing human exposome studies, characterizing the occupational exposome, and future applications of exposome measurements. The overall goals are to understand the exposome paradigm and how its concepts could help quantify workplace exposures and manage risks.
