  • Title: Background on the system of integral evaluation of human exposure to toxic substances in the work and municipal environments.
    Author: Dutkiewicz T, Kończalik J.
    Journal: Int J Occup Med Environ Health; 1999; 12(3):263-71. PubMed ID: 10581867.
    Abstract:
    Exposure to toxic chemicals in the work, natural and home environments is recognised as combined exposure. The system of integral evaluation of human exposure should take account of all toxic substances occurring in all environmental media (air, water, soil and food), and all routes through which they enter the human body. To provide the integral evaluation it is necessary to develop different exposure scenarios based on dose intake or derived values. Following the toxicological criteria, calculated exposure indicators, after their standardisation and aggregation, should be converted into combined exposure indices. The index value will reflect the level of combined exposure.
