The Society’s multidisciplinary expertise and international reach make it the premiere professional society for practitioners associated with all aspects of exposure science
(research, teaching, policy, communication, outreach).
ISES: To better our world, its ecosystems, and inhabitants, by creating an international community that advances and integrates exposure science into research and action.
The International Society of Exposure Science (ISES) promotes and advances exposure science (methods, measurements, models) as it relates to the complex inter-relationships between human populations, communities, ecosystems, wildlife, and chemical, biological, and physical agents, and non-chemical stressors. ISES members have diverse expertise and training in biological, physical, environmental, and social sciences, as well as various engineering disciplines.
According to the National Research Council, “exposure science links human and ecological behavior to environmental processes in such a way that the information generated can be used to mitigate or prevent future adverse exposures.”

- Thank you to all ISES members that participated in our recent vote regarding bylaw changes. We heard from 102 members and the bylaw changes have passed with a majority vote of 88%.
- ISES’ own Lesliam Quiros-Alcala visited Daegu, Korea last month to attend the 2019 joint conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidimology and the Asia Chapter of ISES. The conference brought together more than 400 individuals from all over the world. Please read Lesliam’s recap of the conference here.
- JESEE, the official journal of the ISES, is currently planning a special issue on Sensing for Exposure Science and would like to invite you to contribute. More information about the special issue, including how and when to submit is available here. We look forward to seeing your work in this exciting area!
