Anke Huss is an associate professor and environmental epidemiologist working at the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS) at Utrecht University. She is specialised in assessing exposures from a range of environmental exposures, for example from modern telecommunication technology, pesticides or the built environment, and the subsequent evaluation of possible associated risks.
She has been principal investigator or senior scientist in a large number of European Union funded studies in the field of environmental health (ETAIN, GERONIMO, MOBIKIDS, HERA, SPRINT). She is co-PI of the AMIGO cohort. She chairs the Electromagnetic field and health expert group of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority and is member of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
Anke Huss is involved in several aspects of Exposome-NL. One is the Panel Study where study participants measured a multitude of different exposures in high detail. The other is an exploration of the perceived built environment and what it means for health and wellbeing.
My aim is to contribute to healthy environments that contribute to good health and wellbeing for all.

The environment we live in has a dominant impact on our health. It explains an estimated seventy percent of the chronic disease burden. Where we live, what we eat, how much we exercise, the air we breathe and whom we associate with; all of these environmental factors play a role. The combination of these factors over the life course is called the exposome. There is general (scientific) consensus that understanding more about the exposome will help explain the current burden of disease and that it provides entry points for prevention and ...
