Total Human Exposure
Total Human Exposure : Accounts for all exposures a person has to a specific contaminant, regardless of environmental medium or route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, and dermal absorption). Sometimes total exposure is used incorrectly to refer to exposure to all pollutants in an environment. Total exposure to more than one pollutant should be stated explicitly as such.
