| Abstract: | Climate change impacts human exposure to chemicals through multiple pathways. This article discusses the interaction between chemicals, climate change and public health, presenting the outcomes of discussions on gaps and opportunities for progressing scientific knowledge to support positive action in this area. These discussions were held at a workshop hosted by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Health Protection Research Unit in Environmental Change and Health (HPRU ECH) and organised in collaboration between the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The workshop focused on the UK, but future work would benefit from broadening the analysis to other countries. |
