Over the last 10 years, a number of researchers have used Monte Carlo analysis to investigate the variation in long-term average dose rates in exposed populations and the uncertainty in estimates of long-term average dose rates for specific individuals. In general, these researchers have modeled long-term exposures using simple dose rate equations which assume that individuals are exposed to a single environmental concentration at a constant rate over a specified exposure duration. This paper presents an alternative approach for modeling long-term average exposures called microexposure event modeling which addresses a number of shortcomings in traditional dose rate equations. The paper discusses the limitations of the traditional dose rate equation, presents a description of the methodology, and illustrates advantages of the approach with a case study.
