The New Science of Exposure

exposure triangle
Welcome to ExposureAnalysis.Org This website is dedicated to the dissemination of materials for use in teaching students about human exposure science, also called exposure analysis.

The field of human exposure is defined as the study of human contact with toxic chemical, physical or biological agents occurring in a specific environment. Toxic agents may travel through air, water, soil, or food systems before reaching a human being's lungs, skin, or gut (see the diagram).

Exposure scientists aim to advance knowledge of the mechanisms and dynamics of events that may cause or prevent adverse health in people.

Work Proceeding on Content

Behind the scenes, we are currently developing lots of content for the website. As this content undergoes review and refinement it will be released to the public. Periodically, as a sufficient amount of material is developed, we will publish a formal workbook that will be suitable as a companion for a University course in Exposure Science.

If you are an instructor or researcher who is interested in contributing materials, or if you are a student interested in the field of Exposure Science, please sign up for an account.

Stay Tuned!

Quantitative Methods in Exposure Analysis: An Open-Source Workbook with Integrated Software and Data

Submitted by Neil Klepeis on

Welcome to the Exposure Analysis Workbook

This book gathers selected presentations, exercises, solutions, and resources from the ExposureAnalysis.Org website into an organized workbook that is suitable for printing and using as a companion for a Univerisity course in Exposure Science. The workbook is a collaborative effort and is released publicly when it has been approved by its contributors. Once approved, a hardcopy version will be published and distributed at intervals of approximately 1 or 2 years.

Demonstration Draft of Hardcopy Workbook

Attached to this post is a rough draft of a printed version of the exposure analysis workbook for demonstration purposes only (PDF format). The general layout of this document is expected to be similar to the final version, although currently many sections are incomplete. We are also exploring different avenues for licensing and publishing, since the hardcopy and web-based versions will be synced and we want to make as much of the workbook available to the public as possible.
