Toxicology & Exposure Science Flashcards
What are the factors of industrial hygiene?
- anticipation
- recognition
- evaluation
- control
What is anticipation?
Figure out what you are using as tools. What is being released?
What is recognition?
recognize what the actual hazards are. during a site visit or walk through. have a visual inspection of the project.
-consider “cradle to grave” concept

- elinination
- substitution
- engineering controls
- admin controls
- PPE (personal protection equipment)

National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
-look over methods for safety
Waht is environmental exposure science?
describes how a person or pop. came in contact with a containment or disease
External exposure?
something reaches your mouth, skin, etc. over time
Exposure route?
how a containment can reach you. by mouth, breathing, water, vaccine, etc.
exposure pathway?
the pathway an exposure takes*
microenvironment?
distinct location where a specific exposure occurs
biomarker
a substance in the body that’s proportional to the exposure
What happens to a chemical after exposure?
ADME Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion
Toxicology?
The study of adverse effects of chemicals on biological systems
-interdisciplinary, applied field
Toxins?
Chemicals of biological origin
