    Exposure Is        defined as the C014TACT of an organism (humans                            in the      case-of health
    risk assessment) With a chemical or physical'agent. The magnitude of exposure
    is determined by measuring or estimating the amount of an agent available for
    absorption at the lungs, gut, or skin, not the amount-absorbed.
 @@Two different methods are used to calculate exposure., Average Daily Exposure
  @ (ADE) is an average exposure computed for the period over which exposure
  ,occurs, and@is used to calculate risks for non-cancer toxic effects. Lifetime
    Average Daily Exposure (LADE), used to calculate carcinogenic risks, takes into
    Account the fact that while carcinogenic hazard values are deteemined.with an
    assumption Of lifetime exposure, actual expos@tre,may be over a Shorter 'period.

                  LADE       ADE x (Exposure Period in Years / Lifetime)

    Contact Rate is the amount of the contaminated medium (waterg airm food) with
          h a person comes into contact (generally a daily average) foe the period of
          sure (e.g. liters per day of water ingeotod, kilograms per day of food
    invested, cubic motors per day of air inhaled). Both ADE and LADE are
    generally expressed in units of milligrams of the contaminant Availabli for
    absorption,, per kilogram of body weight, per diy.
