Together, we build a European Exposure Science Strategy
Welcome to This is Exposure Science, a video series designed to introduce you to the field of exposure science and different career types that fall under this discipline. Exposure science is the study of how humans interact with chemical, physical, and biological agents in their daily lives. From the air we breathe and the water we drink to the products we use at home and the environments where we work, exposure scientists are the detectives quantifying these contacts to protect communities and improve lives.
In this series of bite-sized videos, you will meet the professionals from academia, industry, and government to discuss:
Whether you are a student looking for a career with purpose, a fellow scientist interested in cross-disciplinary work, or a curious citizen wanting to understand the science behind the headlines, these videos offer a window into a world of exposure science. Ready to dive in? Explore the gallery below to hear from the experts themselves.
