Abstract
This study provides a comparison between two approaches for evaluating personal exposure: a time-weighted average and a time activity profile. The results showed that a time-weighted averaged profile is a poor substitute when compared with personal exposure calculated based on a time activity profile, as, in each simulated scenario, exposures were under-predicted using the time-weighted approach, in some cases by up to 135%.
