The study of an individual's contact with chemicals (from manufacturing facilities, everyday products, and waste) in the environment. Personal chemical exposure informatics (PCEI) advances knowledge of the mechanisms and dynamics of events that cause or prevent adverse health outcomes (Fig. 1a). Primary considerations include who you are (the receptor), what you are doing (activity), and what you interact with or use in what you are doing (products, articles, feeding, exercising, hygiene, and so on).
