  "definition": "1. RSEI's risk-related results include a calculated surrogate dose, which is estimated through exposure modeling. Exposure modeling is a way to track a chemical's fate and transport through the environment, until it comes to a point of contact with an exposed person. Exposure modeling includes using standard assumptions about human exposure to contaminants, such as the drinking water, fish ingestion, or air inhalation rate.\n\n2. The mathematical equations simulating how people interact with chemicals in their environment.",
