Receptor: Ecological entity exposed to a stressor.
Recharge: The process by which water is added to a zone of saturation, usually by percolation from the soil surface; e.g., the recharge of an aquifer.
Receptor population
People who could come into contact with hazardous substances [see exposure pathway].
receptor : 1) In biochemistry: a specialized molecule in a cell that binds a specific chemical with high specificity and high affinity. 2) In exposure assessment: an organism that receives, may receive, ...
Receptor: Group of molecules on the surface or within a cell that deliver a signal to the cell upon stimulation.
Receptor Age
The description of the exposed individual as defined by the EPA region or dictated by the site.

Receptor: Ecological entity exposed to a stressor.
Recharge Area: A land area in which water reaches the zone of saturation from surface infiltration, e.g., where rainwater soaks through the earth to reach an aquifer.
Sentinel Well: A groundwater monitoring well situated between a sensitive receptor downgradient and the source of a contaminant plume upgradient.
enzyme, receptor, DNA, antibody, or microorganism) in intimate contact with an electrochemical, optical, thermal, or acoustic signal transducer that together permit analyses of chemical properties or quantities.
Synthetic chemicals and natural plant compounds that may affect the endocrine system (the communication system of glands, hormones and cellular receptors that control the body's internal functions).

Odorant: A substance that stimulates the olfactory receptors.
Odor Pervasiveness: The rate of decrease of odor perception associated with the decrease in odorant concentration.
shielding Any material between a radiation source and a radiation receptor.
Shigella A genus of bacteria within the Salmonella family that is pathogenic causing dysentery.
Air Basin: A land area with generally similar meteorological and geographic conditions throughout. To the extent possible, air basin boundaries are defined along political boundary lines and include both the source and receptor areas.
The health risk is affected by several factors: the amount and toxicity of emissions; the weather; how far sources are from people; the distance between sources; and the age, health and lifestyle of the people living and working at the receptor ...
