  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. The primary objective of exposure modeling is to estimate the dose of pollutant which humans or animals are exposed to via inhalation, ingestion and/or dermal uptake. Exposure models bridge the gap between concentrations of pollutants in the environment and the doses humans receive based on their activity.\n\n2. A conceptual or mathematical representation of the exposure process. [IPCS 2004]\n\n3. The mathematical equations simulating how people interact with chemicals in their environment. [EPA 2004]",
