exposure assessment
Contamination contact evaluation
Exposure assessment is the process of measuring or estimating how much of a hazardous substance reaches a person, population, or environment—through what routes, how often, and for how long.
It forms a key component of risk analysis in public health, toxicology, and environmental science: The exposure assessment showed elevated lead levels in children living near the smelter.
