SMITH, J. A., J. C. KISSEL, J. H. SHIRAI, M. K. MORGAN, L. S. SHELDON, AND C. W. CROGHAN. ESTIMATION OF CHILDREN'S EXPOSURES VIA POORLY CHARACTERIZED PATHWAYS USING CTEPP DATA. Presented at International Society of Exposure Analysis (ISEA), Paris, FRANCE, September 02 - 06, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
The overall objectives of CTEPP were to measure the aggregate exposures of approximately 260 preschool children and their adult caregivers to low levels of a suite of pesticides and organic pollutants that the children may encounter in their everyday environments, and to apportion the routes of exposure and estimate the relative contributions of each route.
Description:
This work involved providing better exposure estimates for poorly characterized pathways (dermal and indirect ingestion) for young children in the CTEPP study. The chemicals used in this analysis were chlorpyrifos and its degradation product 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol.
