Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is the amount of chemicals present in the medium with which an Organism has contact.
Key Points
- Exposure is defined as the contact of humans with a particular agent on a human outer boundary and the exposure concentration is the amount of substance making this contact.
- Exposure concentration (C) is the arithmetic mean of the contaminant concentration throughout the exposure.
- The range of exposure concentrations is vast and the frequency of exposure may be low for some compounds such as perilla ketone and 4-ipomeanol.
- However, the exposure concentrations quantified as mass do not provide information on the number of nano-sized particles.
Therefore, the correct answer is the amount of chemicals present in the medium with which an Organism has contact.
