Exposure to chemical mixtures in the environment has become an increasingly pressing public health concern, as individuals are rarely exposed to a single chemical. This landscape presents unique challenges for researchers and policymakers attempting to assess and mitigate associated health risks. Cardiovascular diseases, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, may be exacerbated by these complex exposures. This Research Topic situates itself within the growing field of environmental health, focusing on the intersections between chemical exposure and cardiovascular outcomes. By exploring this under-researched area, we aim to lay the groundwork for improved health risk assessments and interventions that reflect the complexity of real-life environmental exposures.

The goal of this Research Topic is to address the complexities and health implications associated with exposure to environmental chemical mixtures and their impact on cardiovascular health. Traditionally, the assessment of chemical exposure has focused on individual substances; however, this approach falls short of capturing the reality of simultaneous exposure to multiple chemicals. These mixtures can have unpredictable interactions, potentially leading to increased cardiovascular risks that are not apparent when considering each chemical in isolation.

This Research Topic explores:

• The multifaceted impact of environmental chemical mixtures on cardiovascular health.
• Innovative research methodologies and practical applications.
• Development of novel analytical techniques for detecting and quantifying chemical mixtures.
• Advanced statistical models for assessing cumulative cardiovascular risk.
• Elucidation of biological mechanisms driving these health effects.
• Provide insights into the real-world implications of chemical mixture exposures.
• Offer policy recommendations for effective regulation and public health interventions.
