Advancing Exposure Science to Improve Chemical Safety Workshop Report
نویسنده
چکیده
The challenge for exposure science and the focus of this workshop were to address the current absence of innovative tools and approaches for assessing human exposures to chemicals. Fundamental and relevant assessment of the potential human health risks from chemicals depends on quality information about exposure as well as the hazards. However, to date, generation of information about chemical hazards has far outpaced that for exposure.
