Impact/Purpose:
The National Exposure Research Laboratory’s (NERL’s) Human Exposure and Atmospheric Sciences Division (HEASD) conducts research in support of EPA’s mission to protect human health and the environment. HEASD’s research program supports Goal 1 (Clean Air) and Goal 4 (Healthy People) of EPA’s 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:
Summary: This is the final report of a 24-month research project. This project was awarded as a $75,000.00 cooperative agreement to Occidental College. The project began on 1 September 2012, following final approval of the funding request package by the EPA Grants Office (US EPA/GIAMD). This project is a component of EPA’s Sustainable and Health Communities Research Program (SHCRP) and is a deliverable FY 2014 research product.
