Description:
This proceedings chapter will discuss the state-of-the-science regarding the evaluation of exposure as it relates to water quality criteria (WQC), sediment quality guidelines (SQG), and wildlife criteria (WC). Throughout this discussion, attempts are made to identify the methods that are currently available, the limitations to the methods, and the possible solutions to the limitations. Strategies that permit a more accurate reflection of the true nature of exposure are identified. Finally, research needs are identified and prioritized with regard to necessity and likelihood for success.
