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.
