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).

Firefighting occupational exposure and early effects on the health of operational forces
Description
4FirHealth evaluated the occupational exposure of firefighters to health-relevant pollutants, gas and (coarse, fine, and ultrafine) particulate matter, and its composition in metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at fire stations and during (forest/structure) firefighting activities. The project estimated early biological changes (e.g., urine) related to the active participation in (forest/structure) firefighting activities (pre-fire, and immediately and next morning post-fire). 4FirHealth presented a list of preventive measures, recommendations, and good practices, in collaboration with firefighting operational forces, to promote the health and safety of firefighters (https://prociv.gov.pt/pt/bombeiros/corpos-de-bombeiros/saude/).
