  "term": "Microexposure Event Analysis",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "A method of assessing risk based on an aggregate sum of a receptor's contact with a contaminated medium. MEE analysis simulates lifetime exposure as the sum of many short-term, or “micro” exposures. MEE approaches can be used to explore uncertainty associated with the model time step in PRA (e.g., use of a single value to represent a long-term average phenomenon, seasonal patterns in exposure, or intra-ind ividual variability).",
