Environmental exposure is usually assessed by evaluating the concentration of a specific chemical in the main environmental media (air, soil, water, sediment) and in biota as food source for other organisms (predators) by secondary poisoning. The study of exposure is complicated by the complexity of the many ecosystems to protect and the high number of chemicals that can be found in the environment. Exposure in the environment can be evaluated using monitoring data or predictive approaches, such as environmental fate models. When more details on organism uptake and levels are needed, specific bioaccumulation models can be used.

Abstract
Environmental exposure is usually assessed by evaluating the concentration of a specific chemical in the main environmental media (air, soil, water, sediment) and in biota as food source for other organisms (predators) by secondary poisoning. The study of exposure is complicated by the complexity of the many ecosystems to protect and the high number of chemicals that can be found in the environment. Exposure in the environment can be evaluated using monitoring data or predictive approaches, such as environmental fate models. When more details on organism uptake and levels are needed, specific bioaccumulation models can be used.
