What Does HEM Stand For?
HEM stands for Human Exposure Model
HEM, or Human Exposure Model, is a systematic framework designed to assess the extent and impact of human exposure to environmental contaminants and hazards. It integrates data on pollutant sources, pathways of exposure, and population characteristics to evaluate risks associated with various chemicals in air, water, soil, or food. HEM aids in decision-making for public health protection, environmental management, and regulatory compliance by providing quantitative estimates of exposure levels and potential health effects.
