AB  - As one of the main components of risk assessment, exposure assessment plays a key 
      role in evaluating risk. Many different scenarios can be developed to estimate 
      the risk from exposure to chemicals such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). 
      The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s Center for Food Safety and Applied 
      Nutrition (CFSAN) is primarily interested in POPs as humans may be exposed to 
      these compounds through food. Examples of POPs found in food include dioxins, 
      polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and some 
      pesticide chemicals. This overview discusses various sources of data that CFSAN 
      has used to estimate dietary exposure to POPs, and provides an example of a 
      recent calculation of an estimate for dietary exposure for consumers in the USA 
      to dioxins in the food supply.
