This calculator estimates the exposure index based on exposure time and intensity. It is useful for determining the level of exposure in various environments, such as industrial settings or outdoor activities.
Learn how to use the Exposure Index Calculator calculator and its working principles
The exposure index is calculated by multiplying the exposure time by the intensity. This formula assumes a linear relationship between exposure time and intensity, which is suitable for many practical applications.
If an individual is exposed to an intensity of 50 W/m² for 3 hours, the exposure index would be:
Exposure Index = 3 hours × 50 W/m² = 150
This exposure index can then be used to assess the level of exposure and determine if it poses any health risks or requires further intervention.
