A new perspective published in Nature Health argues that understanding early-life environmental exposures—including pollutants, chemicals, and social determinants—is essential for protecting lifelong health. The authors call for prioritizing exposomics research and developing global infrastructures to systematically measure and analyze these exposures from conception through childhood. For a nurse and psychologist focused on chronic disease prevention and health behavior, this perspective reinforces the foundational importance of early environmental context in shaping long-term health outcomes and risk trajectories.
