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.
Unfortunately, the Exposure Analysis website was hacked a couple weeks ago. We are working hard to get the site back in shape -- with close to the same look and content as before. In the meantime, please excuse the glitches :)).

No! We understand that some instructors may not want to publish problems that they will be including on exams or homeworks. If you want to share these kinds of problems with other instructors, e.g., to get their feedback, you can post them to the "Exam Questions" group and also tag them as "For Private Release". ONLY APPROVED INSTRUCTORS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE "EXAM QUESTIONS" GROUP.
When you join the website, you must agree to a set of terms and conditions. Users will be presented with the following text and need to check a box indicating that they agree with the terms before their registration will be accepted.
ExposureScience.Org exists primarily to promote the field of Exposure Science and to encourage the influx of students into this field by providing students and instructions with high-quality and freely-available educational materials. We believe in Open Access so that anyone in any country can learn about Exposure Science regardless of their current student status or income level. By releasing the materials under an Open Source license, we aim to provide an organic, living set of materials that will grow and adapt to new problems and issues in Exposure Science through the contributio
As the original or primary author of contributed materials, you have control over how the material will be released. Basically, you can specify material as "Private Release" and restrict it to specific groups. Or you can specify it as "Public Release" to allow anyone to access it. Only materials tagged by their authors as "Public Release" will be included in hardbound versions of published workbooks and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike license.
This website exists to produce, organize, and publish educational materials in the field of Exposure Science that can be used in a University-level course or by self-learners who may currently not be enrolled at a school. The emphasis is on the quantitative analysis of exposure-related problems.
We currently use a module that allows you to include LaTeX-style equations in all of your posts. Simply surround your LaTeX commands with the [tex][tex][/tex]...[tex]\[/tex\][/tex] tags and when the page renders, you will see the mathematics rendered as small images.
Some examples of LaTeX commands are as follows:
[tex][tex][/tex]\frac{x}{y}[tex]\[/tex\][/tex], rendered as [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]
[tex][tex][/tex]\sum_{i=1}^N x_i[tex]\[/tex\][/tex], rendered as [tex]\sum_{i=1}^N x_i[/tex]
The book "Exposure Analysis" (533p), edited by Wayne R. Ott, Anne C. Steinemann, and Lance A. Wallace, was published in 2007 by CRC Press, Boca Raton (Taylor & Francis Group). It is the first complete resource in the emerging scientific discipline of exposure analysis.
