The estimate of benzene exposure level was developed in six concentration ranges (<1 ppm; 1-5 ppm; 6-10 ppm; 11-25 ppm; 26-50 ppm; and >50 ppm). ... When we examined relative risks of BP [benzene poisoning] by intensity of exposure at 1.5 years prior to the diagnosis of benzene poisoning, compared to subjects who have less than 5 ppm exposure at that time, we obtained RRs [relative risks] of 2.2 (95% CI=1.7-2.9), 4.7 (95% CI=3.4-6.5), and 7.2 (95% CI=5.3-9.8) for intensity of 5 to 19 ppm, 20 to 39 ppm, and >/= 40 ppm categories. 6, record 3, English, - exposure%20level

Do not confuse with "exposure intensity". The term "intensity" refers to the degree or amount of some quality, condition; it expresses the force, strength, energy, degree of some characteristic quality. The term "level" designates a position on a scale in respect of amount, intensity, extent, or the like; it expresses the relative amount or intensity of any property, attribute, or activity. Since the level studied corresponds most of the time to an observed concentration of a substance, the two expressions "exposure level" and "exposure concentration" can often be used interchangeably even if they are not true synonyms. One must choose according to the context. See also "exposure score." 7, record 3, English, - exposure%20level

L'évaluation de l'exposition à l'amiante [...] a été réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'une «matrice emplois-expositions» (MEE), c'est-à-dire une base de données qui associe à des métiers pour différentes périodes des valeurs moyennes d'exposition à des nuisances professionnelles. Une MEE spécifique de l'amiante applicable à la population française a été développée par Orlowski et al.; les métiers sont des combinaisons de codes ISCO ET ISIC, et pour chaque combinaison ISCO/ISIC, on trouve trois indices : probabilité, fréquence, et intensité, le niveau d'exposition calculé étant le produit de ces trois indices. 4, record 3, French, - niveau%20d%27exposition

Ne pas confondre avec «intensité d'exposition». «Intensité» désigne un degré d'activité, de force ou de puissance associé à un phénomène ou à processus. «Intensité d'exposition» est une expression elliptique qui signifie en réalité «intensité d'un phénomène auquel une personne se trouve exposée» (d'un rayonnement, par exemple), une exposition en tant que telle ne pouvant être, rigoureusement parlant, qualifiée d'intense en elle-même. Le terme «niveau» se rapporte à un échelon atteint par une grandeur (par exemple une intensité) par rapport à une base de référence relative à cette grandeur. Comme le niveau se rapporte souvent à l'expression de la mesure de la quantité d'un produit dangereux auquel une personne est exposée (sous la forme de la concentration observée du produit), les auteurs ont souvent tendance à envisager la notion de «niveau d'intensité» sous l'angle de cette concentration. Le terme anglais «exposure concentration» ne peut pas être rendu par la traduction littérale de «concentration d'exposition», qui est insensée. On parlera plutôt de l'exposition à des substances présentes à des concentrations X, ou, tout simplement, des concentrations X en une substance Y. Choisir selon le contexte. Le terme «exposition» tout seul peut remplacer avantageusement les expressions plus complètes de «niveau, durée, intensité» d'exposition. 5, record 3, French, - niveau%20d%27exposition
