Short Description

Exposure Simulation Modelling and Assessment Tool (ESMAT) is an open source exposure model that uses Monte Carlo simulations to estimate person-level exposure for the European population. ESMAT can also be used for other spatial scales (e.g. national, local). Figure 1 shows the variable structure of the model.

This model was formerly known as LAMA, its original name when developed under the HEIMTSA project.
