exposure analysis

Exposure analysis is the process of assessing how much a person or organization comes into contact with a certain substance, risk, or environment, and the potential impact of that contact. It involves measuring or estimating the levels, duration, and frequency of exposure to understand potential health or safety effects. This helps identify whether exposures are within safe limits, guiding decisions to reduce risks or protect health. Think of it as a detailed way to evaluate how much of a hazard someone might encounter and what that could mean for their well-being or safety.
