Abstract

In the case of POPs (persistence organic. compounds) that have been release into environment, the goal of exposure assessment is to estimate the individual's total intake through various contact media and exposure pathways. The objective of this study was to estimate human exposure to environmental pollutants using a multimedia/multiroute scenario in an urban area of Korea.
