Inviting ecosystems into the exposome framework

Historically and willingly, the exposome framework focuses on human health. Ecosystems are considered only partially and are always envisioned as part of the exposures. As knowledge expands on the human exposome, human-nature relationships and interdependency are becoming increasingly obvious, with an impact of nature on human health and well-being. Including ecosystems into the exposome framework would help to identify shared exposures, boomerang effects, specific adaptations occurring in other living beings, nature-based solutions to mitigate identified problematics linked to human health, and maintain a habitable environment for all living beings.
