German term or phrase: Risikoexponierte
This is a document about the possible risks of nanotechnology. The full context:
"Risikoaussetzen und Risikoausgesetztsein ist oftmals eine asymmetrische Situation. Deshalb stellt sich die Frage, warum derjenige, der einem Risiko ausgesetzt ist, ohne davon zu profitieren – der Risikoexponierte – dies hinnehmen sollte, wenn der Risikoexponent dem Risiko selbst nicht ausgesetzt ist."

Is there a special term for "Riskoexponierte" or can I just say "risk-exposed person"?

exposed person
Explanation:
I think this would be the term normally used for a person that is exposed to a hazard which could lead to a (significant) risk.
