A simple exposure tool (SimET) was developed to identify substances on the DSL [Domestic Substances List] considered to represent GPE [greatest potential for exposure]. This approach was based on three lines of evidence: 1) quantity in commerce in Canada; 2) number of companies involved in commercial activities in Canada; and 3) the consideration by experts of the potential for human exposure based on various use codes. 1, record 1, English, - simple%20exposure%20tool

On a mis au point un outil simple de détermination du risque d’exposition(SimET) afin d’identifier les substances de la LIS [Liste intérieure des substances] considérées comme présentant le PFoRE [plus fort risque d’exposition]. Cette approche se fonde sur trois sources de données : 1) la quantité que l'on trouve dans le commerce au Canada; 2) le nombre d’entreprises qui exercent des activités commerciales au Canada; 3) l'examen par des experts du risque d’exposition pour les humains, à l'aide de différents codes d’utilisation. 1, record 1, French, - outil%20simple%20de%20d%C3%A9termination%20du%20risque%20d%27exposition

Plus fort risque d’exposition(PFRE) : pour évaluer l'exposition des êtres humains aux substances chimiques, les chercheurs regardent au-delà de la persistance et de la bioaccumulation.
