SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN POLLUTANTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
Citation:
CUPITT, L. T. SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN POLLUTANTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT. Presented at ISEE/ISEA International Conference on Environmental Epidemiology and Exposure, Paris, FRANCE, September 02 - 06, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
To provide broad-based support for the Intermediate Office of NERL and to facilitate outreach and communications with peers, stakeholders, clients, and the public.
Description:
The efforts to evaluate the value of improved exposure metrics on the ability to relate those metrics with outcomes in complex systems have met with varying degrees of success. This work describes the results of recent efforts, mostly involving air pollutants, to improve the sophistication in the exposure estimate and classification in order to improve the quality of associations between exposure and outcomes at the end of the complex systems, both human and environmental.
