Abstract
Accurate estimation of human or wildlife exposures is a prerequisite for realistic evaluation of environmental pollution health risks. Comprehensive methodologies should be established to measure and evaluate the exposure precisely. This article reviewed the recent development of exposure assessment concept and the framework of exposure related measurements. Methods of exposure assessment can be categorized as direct, predictive and reconstructive assessments. Each of the methods was explained together with examples of already made exposure assessment such as TEAM study and dioxin exposure from municipal waste incinerator emission.
