5. Mistakes to avoid
5.1 Don't neglect the calculation of exposure concentrations
When calculating risk, some risk assessors assume that exposure levels are equivalent to concentrations measured at site release points. This is a majoritarian approach, since it does not take into account dilution and transfer phenomena, but also the specificity of potential targets and transfer mechanisms: these elements are taken into account when calculating exposure levels.
