"Our plan," he said, "was to seek out all potential exposures and put them behind us."

The case control study looks back through time at potential exposures that both groups (cases and controls) may have encountered.

Among other hazards, the state's potential exposure to liability could grow if nothing is done, he added.

This decision saved the insurance industry billions of dollars in potential exposure.

But the 1982 law is only one source of potential legal exposure.

The researchers found that troops with greater potential exposure had less white matter.

What about the workers' potential exposure to the new aqueous cleaner?

The area for potential exposure will clearly vary depending on the circumstances of each case.

Other people, including health-care workers, who think they might be at risk should monitor their health for 21 days after the last potential exposure.

"Why would someone want to be a director and face all this potential exposure?"
