First sentence: Exposure assessment, defined by EPA as "the determination or estimation (qualitative or quantitative) of the magnitude, frequency, duration, and route of exposure" for a chemical (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1992), is a key component of any risk assessment for an individual or for populations (National Research Council, 1983; National Research Council, 1994).
