Various methods are employed in exposure monitoring, each tailored to specific environments and substances. Common techniques include:
Personal Sampling: Involves collecting samples directly from an individual's breathing zone to assess personal exposure levels. Environmental Sampling: Evaluates the concentration of chemicals in the surrounding environment, such as air, water, or soil. Biological Monitoring: Measures the levels of chemicals or their metabolites in biological samples like blood, urine, or hair, providing an integrated assessment of exposure.
