exposure scenario

An exposure scenario describes a realistic situation in which a person might come into contact with a substance or hazard, such as chemicals or pollutants. It outlines the circumstances—like where, when, how much, and how often contact occurs—that help assess potential risks. For example, handling cleaning products regularly at home or playing in a contaminated area. Understanding exposure scenarios helps researchers and safety experts evaluate and manage potential health risks, ensuring appropriate precautions are taken.
