Overview of USEPA/NERL Cooperative Agreement Research Program on Air Pollution Exposure and Health. Presented at International Society for Environmental Epidemiology Conference, Dublin, Northern Ireland, IRELAND, August 25 - 29, 2009.
Impact/Purpose:
The overall goal of this Air Pollution Exposure and Health Program is to enhance the results from epidemiologic studies of ambient PM and gaseous pollution by using refined approaches for characterizing personal and population exposures.
Description:
USEPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) recently initiated a two-year Cooperative Agreement Research Program between EPA and three academic institutions: Emory University, Rutgers University and University of Washington. Under this EPA/NERL sponsored research, novel exposure assessment techniques are currently being evaluated in a complimentary and tiered fashion using several epidemiologic health studies.
