Consumer exposure arises from a large diversity of products that may contain chemical compounds. Since experimental data on consumer exposure are scarce or absent, various models have been developed to estimate exposure to chemicals in or released from consumer products. RIVM has developed the following models: ConsExpo Web, PACEM, ConsExpo nano and DustEx.

In addition to the published data in the publications, this sites offers the opportunity to look up the results in pdf-tables.

Regularly a newsletter is dissaminated electronically with nutrition related news from RIVM.
