Exposure assessment is the process of estimating the magnitude, frequency, duration, and route of human exposure to chemical, physical, and biological agents. These agents can include pollutants in the air, water, soil, and food, as well as hazardous substances in the workplace. Exposure assessment is an important part of public health and environmental protection, as it can help identify and mitigate risks to human health.
