| The Guidelines for Exposure Assessment | |
| Short description |
EPA's The Guidelines for Exposure Assessment describe the general concepts of exposure assessment including definitions and associated units, and by providing guidance on the planning and conducting of an exposure assessment. Guidance is also provided on presenting the results of the exposure assessment and characterizing uncertainty. |

| Principles of Characterizing and Applying Human Exposure Models | |
| Short description |
"Harmonization Project Document No. 3 provides descriptions and applications of some published exposure models to illustrate both the principles and practices of exposure modeling, but it does not attempt to provide a comprehensive list of existing exposure models. Rather, the focus of this report is on discussing general properties of exposure models and how they should be described. The characteristics of different modeling frameworks are examined, and 10 principles are recommended for characterizing, evaluating and using exposure models in order to help model users select and apply the most appropriate models. The report also discusses issues such as validation, input data needs, time resolution and extrapolation of the model results to different populations and scenarios." |

| IPCS Risk Assessment Terminology | |
| Short description |
Harmonization Project Document No. 1 includes Part 1: IPCS/OECD Key Generic Terms Used in Chemical Hazard/Risk Assessment and Part 2: IPCS Glossary of Key Exposure Assessment Terminology. Document describes harmonized generic and technical terms used in chemical hazard/risk assessment, which will help facilitate the mutual use and acceptance of the assessment of chemicals between countries. |

| Guidelines for Good Exposure Assessment Practice for Human Health Effects of Chemicals | |
| Short description |
The aim of this document is to provide guidance that will assist those having to undertake or evaluate exposure assessments. These guidelines will enable those individuals inexperienced in exposure assessment to familiarize themselves with the underlying principles and to gain an insight into the information required to conduct an exposure assessment. They are also aimed at risk assessors and risk managers who need to understand the process involved in obtaining the output from an exposure assessment to assist them in making more confident and informed decisions when characterizing and evaluating risks to human health from exposure to chemicals. |

| Glossary of Exposure Assessment-Related Terms: A Compilation | |
| Short description |
This is an unedited selection of exposure assessment related terms taken from a combination of 57 glossaries for exposure and related fields (references below). It has been prepared for the IPCS Exposure Terminology Subcommittee as a research paper for discussion purposes. |

| Environmental Health Criteria 214: Human Exposure Assessment | |
| Short description |
This document on human exposure assessment presents in one publication the concepts, rationale, and statistical and procedural methodologies for human exposure assessment. The underpinnings of exposure assessment are the basic environmental and biological measurements found in the more familiar specialties of air and water pollution and food and soil sciences. Therefore, throughout this document readers are referred to other publications for technical details on instrumental and laboratory methods. This criteria document is intended for the community of scientific investigators inquiring about the human health consequences of contaminants in our environment. |
