To provide an exposure method properly performing exposure processing while maintaining a liquid in a desired state.
In this exposure method for arranging a liquid LQ on a substrate P and irradiating the substrate P with an exposure light through the liquid LQ to expose the substrate P thereto, the concentration of an eluted substance in the liquid LQ arranged on the substrate P is set to satisfy a condition of RW-RP≤1.0×10-3, wherein RP is a transmittance per mm, in the optical path direction of the exposure light, of the liquid LQ containing the eluted substance eluted from the substrate P after the liquid LQ is arranged on the substrate P, and Rw is transmittance of the liquid LQ per mm in the optical path direction of the exposure light before the eluted substance is eluted.
