How Can Long-Term Exposure Be Prevented or Minimized?
Prevention and minimization of long-term exposure involve a combination of regulatory measures, workplace safety practices, and individual actions. Regulatory agencies establish permissible exposure limits and enforce compliance. In occupational settings, engineering controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), and proper ventilation can reduce exposure risks. Individuals can minimize personal exposure by using products responsibly, following safety instructions, and staying informed about potential hazards in their environment. Public awareness and education also play vital roles in reducing the risks associated with chronic exposure.
