Morphology
The phrase combines 'exposure' (being subjected to a hazard) with 'dose' (a measured amount), so its meaning — a measured amount of exposure (e.g., to radiation) — is directly derivable from the constituents. While the term is technical, the compositional logic is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the basic meaning.
Etymology
Exposure dose comes from two simple images: exposure (being open to something, like standing in the sun) and dose (a measured amount, like a spoonful of medicine). So, if you picture counting spoonfuls of sunlight, it helps you remember it means the measured amount of 'radiation' someone receives.
