Exposure Science in the 21st Century: A Vision and A Strategy investigates the contact of humans or other organisms with those agents (that is, chemical, physical, and biologic stressors) and their fate in living systems. The concept of exposure science has been instrumental in helping us understand how stressors affect human and ecosystem health, and in efforts to prevent or reduce contact with harmful stressors. In this way exposure science has played an integral role in many areas of environmental health, and can help meet growing needs in environmental regulation, urban and ecosystem planning, and disaster management."--Publisher's description. 0aHealth risk assessment. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aPollution.2 aNational Research Council (U.S.).bBoard on Environmental Studies and Toxicology.2 aNational Research Council (U.S.).bDivision on Earth and Life Studies.
