Historical exposure is thus an essential part of a correct differential diagnosis and can enter into a causation analysis in a quantitative waydmost obviously if we know the human exposure level at which disease is likely to occur. However, this condition is a rarity. More often, we know the exposure level at which disease is not likely to occur. Thus, we can compare the estimated historical exposure incurred by an individual to chemical-specific standards and criteria, both public health and occupational.
Several examples of this are noted ahead under the “trigger of coverage” and “sudden and accidental” sections.

Such apportionment approaches may be based on contributions of each PRP to the one chemical driving the remediation or on expansion of the “chemical equation” to include other chemicals, factor in their relative toxicities, and thereby establish the relative risk or potential harm of the various contributors.
