The Global Exposome Cohort Catalogue is an international registry, based on the FAIR principle, of exposome cohorts with worldwide coverage. The objective is to generate a shared, public space for findability/discovery of cohorts with datasets that are relevant for the exposome field (i.e., that can contribute to answering exposome-related research questions), containing source metadata for each listed resource. We define a cohort as: a longitudinal population (birth, mother-child, adolescent, adult, or multi-generational) in which individual-level data are collected on health outcomes and/or exposures of interest. The Global Exposome Cohort Catalogue hosts metadata for each cohort, focusing on elements such as (Type of Cohort, Timing and duration of data collection, Exposure domains covered [e.g., chemical, urban, lifestyle, social], Geographical scope, Contact information for dataset access, Link to external website or data repository).

Assessment of Lead Exposure and Risk Tracking in children
Description
Despite the magnitude of the problem, Brazil lacks representative national studies on blood lead levels in children, currently relying on local and sporadic investigations. In this context, the partnership between the Ministry of Health, Vital Strategies Brazil, and the University of São Paulo represents a strategic opportunity to integrate scientific evidence into decision-making, strengthening the country's institutional response to lead exposure, in alignment with the guidelines of the Unified Health System (SUS) and the National Health Surveillance Policy. This project aims to implement a national survey of lead exposure in preschool children, through biomonitoring and the study of associated risk factors in Brazil, with national representativeness, in order to generate qualified scientific evidence on blood lead levels in children aged 1 to 5 years and 11 months, and the main risk factors associated with exposure. Through interinstitutional partnerships, we are including other biomarkers.
