BURKE, J. M. STOCHASTIC HUMAN EXPOSURE AND DOSE SIMULATION MODEL FOR PARTICULATE MATTER (SHEDS-PM) VERSION 2.1. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/C-05/012, 2005.
Impact/Purpose:
The overall objective of this research is to develop, apply, and evaluate a human exposure model for predicting population exposures to the components of particulate matter (PM) identified as potential toxic agents contributing to adverse health effects.
Description:
The SHEDS-PM 2.1 model is an executable (no software requirement) with a user-friendly interface for predicting population distributions of exposure and dose for PM and its constituents. The model estimates the distribution of total and ambient PM exposures for a user-specified population of interest based on user-provided ambient PM concentration data (hourly- or daily-averaged concentration data).
