  "definition": "1. The product of characterizing exposure in the analysis phase of ecological risk assessment. The exposure profile summarizes the magnitude and spatial and temporal patterns of exposure for the scenarios described in the conceptual model.\n\n2. A summary of the magnitude and spatial and temporal patterns of exposure for the scenarios described in the conceptual model.\n\n3. The exposure profile (ecological) identifies the receptors and describes the exposure pathways and intensity and spatial and temporal extent of exposure. It also describes the impact of variability and uncertainty on exposure estimates and reaches a conclusion about the likelihood that exposure will occur. The profile may be a written document or a module of a larger process model.\n\n4. A qualitative and/or quantitative evaluation of the magnitude, frequency, and pattern of exposure to a pathogen, developed during the analysis phase of microbial risk assessment, including a description of the assumptions and uncertainties inherent in such an evaluation.\n\n5. The product of characterization of exposure in the analysis phase of ecological risk assessment. The exposure profile summarizes the magnitude and spatial and temporal patterns of exposure for the scenarios described in the conceptual model.",
