Ozkaynak, H. AND N. Tulve. Assessing children's exposures to dust that influence their multimedia multipathway exposures to chemicals of interest. Presented at OECD Workshop on Children's Exposure to Chemicals, Utrecht, NETHERLANDS, October 07 - 08, 2013.
Impact/Purpose:
The National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) Human Exposure and Atmospheric Sciences Division (HEASD) conducts research in support of EPA mission to protect human health and the environment. HEASD research program supports Goal 1 (Clean Air) and Goal 4 (Healthy People) of EPA strategic plan. More specifically, our division conducts research to characterize the movement of pollutants from the source to contact with humans. Our multidisciplinary research program produces Methods, Measurements, and Models to identify relationships between and characterize processes that link source emissions, environmental concentrations, human exposures, and target-tissue dose. The impact of these tools is improved regulatory programs and policies for EPA.
Description:
This presentation will present an overview of the latest findings on the role of indirect exposures of children to chemicals via contact with indoor dust and other surfaces of concern.
