Environmental Protection Agency’s Exposure Model

The Environmental Protection Agency's Exposure Model is a tool used to assess how people and the environment come into contact with pollutants and hazardous substances. It estimates the potential exposure based on various factors, such as air, water, and soil contamination. The model considers sources of pollution, pathways (like air or food), and the duration of exposure. By analyzing this data, the EPA can identify risks and help develop strategies to protect public health and the environment from harmful exposures. Essentially, it's a way to understand how pollutants affect us and guide informed decisions for safety and regulation.
