Residential Exposure Factors—Data Sources and Principles for Their Use

  • Chapter
Residential Exposure Assessment

  • 93 Accesses

Abstract

Information on residential exposure factors presented in this chapter will not have much relevance unless their use in the exposure assessment process is demonstrated. The good exposure practices and principles discussed in Chapter 10 are also applicable to residential exposure factors. From a human exposure perspective, the environment of concern is the residence and the exposed receptors of concern are humans occupying the residences.
