direct exposure
Facing it unguarded
Direct exposure is contact with something without any barrier, filter, or intermediary.
In photography, it refers to light hitting the sensor or film without diffusion.
In health contexts, it means unprotected contact with a hazard: direct exposure to the sun, direct exposure to toxic chemicals.
The phrase emphasizes that nothing stands between the subject and the source of potential effect.
