Analysis, assessment and mapping of chemical mixture risks/footprints in countries of the Global South and on a planetary scale

While there are increasing data on chemical mixtures in European water bodies, consistent data on chemical pollution in many countries of the Global South and on a global scale are extremely scarce. Thus, we established a Global Chemical Monitoring (GloCheM) network involving enthusiastic scientists from all continents to close existing data gaps and to enhance planetary collaboration on chemical monitoring. 

Extensive chemical mixture analysis and assessment have been performed in Western Kenya (Chepchirchir et al., 2024; Kandie et al., 2020a; Kandie et al., 2020b; Tanui et al., 2025a; Tanui et al., 2025b), in the megacity of Lahore, Pakistan (Shahid et al., 2025) and in Chile (Inostroza et al., 2024).
