Environment and health: A challenge for computer science

Abstract

The importance of modeling and software development in the field of environment and health is briefly outlined in this paper. In this context we introduce the term "exposomics". We give two short modeling examples: the first one is on the evaluation of chemicals in breast milk with the experimental software PyHasse, and the second one on the evaluation of sex odds near the storage cask site Gorleben applying linear logistic regression technique. In both cases we detected an effect of the pollution of the environment and human health. More research and precautionary activities should be initiated in the field of environment and health.
