Exposure pathway

The exposure path is the path taken by radioactive substances from their discharge from a facility or facility via a propagation or transport process to inhalative, oral or dermal radiation exposure of humans.

Possible facilities would be, for example, nuclear medicine centers that do not properly dispose of their radioactive waste , do not store it as prescribed, or dispose of it before it subsides.

Example of an exposure pathway: air → forage plants → cow → milk → food
