ExpoCast: High Throughput Exposure Prediction
Citation:
WAMBAUGH, J. F. ExpoCast: High Throughput Exposure Prediction. Presented at USDA FSIS; Organized by NERL HEASD (via Teleconference), Washington, DC, August 14, 2012.
Impact/Purpose:
There are thousands of chemicals, many without enough data for evaluation – working to provide a high-throughput exposure approach to use with the ToxCast chemical hazard identification. TSCA21: Prioritization of ~500 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) chemicals; EDSP21: Prioritization of ~2000 Endocrine Disruptors Screening Program (EDSP) chemicals; OW21: Development of next chemical contaminants list (CCL); Using fate and transport models to predict the contribution from manufacture and industrial use to overall exposure rapidly and efficiently; Applying and developing new high throughput models of consumer use and indoor exposure. ExpoCast can use environmental fate and transport models to make high- throughput exposure predictions. These prioritizations have been ground-truthed with CDC NHANES data; This biomonitoring data gives empirical calibration and estimate of uncertainty; Indoor/consumer use is a primary determinant; Next steps: HT models for exposure from consumer use and indoor environment; Use and evaluate these models as additional HT exposure assays
