Epidemiologists use a variety of methods to study routes of exposure:
Epidemiological Studies: These include cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies to identify associations between exposure and health outcomes. Environmental Monitoring: This involves measuring levels of contaminants in air, water, and soil to assess potential exposure risks. Biomonitoring: This includes testing biological samples such as blood or urine to measure the internal dose of contaminants. Surveys and Questionnaires: These tools help gather data on lifestyle factors, occupational exposures, and other potential routes of exposure.
