The HExpoChem server contains information on diverse sources of chemicals with the aim to explore human health risk from chemical exposure. Five sources of information are considered i.e. drugs, food, cosmetics, industrial chemicals and human metabolites corresponding of over 10183 unique chemicals with bioactivities for around 19 483 human proteins.

HExpoChem can assist in the multi-exposure to chemicals defined as a "cocktail" through several tools and can help in the decision of potential proteins and proteins complexes associated to life-style diseases.

Additional information can be obtained under the "instructions" and "output format"
