The New Science of Exposure

Categories:

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.

What is the website mission?

Categories:

ExposureScience.Org exists primarily to promote the field of Exposure Science and to encourage the influx of students into this field by providing students and instructions with high-quality and freely-available educational materials.   We believe in Open Access so that anyone in any country can learn about Exposure Science regardless of their current student status or income level.    By releasing the materials under an Open Source license, we aim to provide an organic, living set of materials that will grow and adapt to new problems and issues in Exposure Science through the contributio

Controlling Access to Materials

Categories:

As the original or primary author of contributed materials, you have control over how the material will be released. Basically, you can specify material as "Private Release" and restrict it to specific groups. Or you can specify it as "Public Release" to allow anyone to access it. Only materials tagged by their authors as "Public Release" will be included in hardbound versions of published workbooks and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike license.

What are the specific goals of this website?

Categories:

This website exists to produce, organize, and publish educational materials in the field of Exposure Science that can be used in a University-level course or by self-learners who may currently not be enrolled at a school. The emphasis is on the quantitative analysis of exposure-related problems.

How do I include equations in my posts?

Categories:

We currently use a module that allows you to include LaTeX-style equations in all of your posts. Simply surround your LaTeX commands with the [tex]...\[/tex\] tags and when the page renders, you will see the mathematics rendered as small images.

Some examples of LaTeX commands are as follows:

[tex]\frac{x}{y}\[/tex\], rendered as \frac{x}{y}

[tex]\sum_{i=1}^N x_i\[/tex\], rendered as \sum_{i=1}^N x_i

As a contributor, what kind of content can I post?

Categories:

Contributors will typically post presentations (lectures, tutorial), exerices (problems, review questions), solutions, software or data resources, and bibliographic references. They may also work towards projects, specific courses and workbooks.
