Description:
These Guidelines establish a broad framework for Agency exposure assessments by describing the general concepts of exposure assessment including definitions and associated units, and by providing guidance on the planning and conducting of an exposure assessment. Guidance is also provided on presenting the results of the exposure assessment and characterizing uncertainty. Although these Guidelines focus on exposures of humans to chemical substances, much of the guidance contained herein also pertains to assessing wildlife exposure to chemicals, or human exposures to biological, noise, or radiological agents. Since these latter four areas present unique challenges, assessments on these topics must consider additional factors beyond the scope of these Guidelines. The Agency may, at a future date, issue additional specific guidelines in these areas.
