The New Science of Exposure
Welcome to ExposureAnalysis.Org This website is dedicated to the dissemination of materials for use in teaching students about human exposure science, also called exposure analysis.
The field of human exposure is defined as the study of human contact with toxic chemical, physical or biological agents occurring in a specific environment. Toxic agents may travel through air, water, soil, or food systems before reaching a human being's lungs, skin, or gut (see the diagram).
Exposure scientists aim to advance knowledge of the mechanisms and dynamics of events that may cause or prevent adverse health in people.
Work Proceeding on Content
Behind the scenes, we are currently developing lots of content for the website. As this content undergoes review and refinement it will be released to the public. Periodically, as a sufficient amount of material is developed, we will publish a formal workbook that will be suitable as a companion for a University course in Exposure Science.
If you are an instructor or researcher who is interested in contributing materials, or if you are a student interested in the field of Exposure Science, please sign up for an account.
