Exposure History

Log any exposure that you believe has an impact on your health. Many of us work in smoky environments or are exposed to chemicals during our day. Track routine exposures you have in your daily life, or rare exposures such as asbestos or other hazardous materials. Share this important information with your health advisors.

Create a History of Your Exposures
Our bodies are regularly exposed to things in the world around us that can be harmful to our health. However, certain occupations, hobbies, travel, or residences increase our exposures to certain elements or chemicals. For example, if you worked in construction doing renovations on a home, there is a possibility of some level of asbestos exposure. If you worked in a casino or other environment where smoking was prevalent, then you have had prolonged exposure to second hand smoke. Many other occupations involve working with chemicals that might be relevant to your health history. Keeping accurate and complete records of your environmental exposures, especially around key times in your life and health, can be valuable insights into prevention and treatment of health conditions.

Link Exposures to Related Areas of Your Health History
Creating associations between your exposure history and other relevant areas of your health profile can provide valuable insight into your health history. One of the most common links to an exposure would be to a condition you feel was caused by or worsened by an exposure, such as chemicals, smoke, or unhealthy work environments. Other potential links would be to any exposure that resulted in a hospitalization, procedure, medication, or surgery. Lifestyle connections can also be relevant to your exposure history, linking occupations, residences, travel, and other areas to certain exposures.
