Citation:
U.S. EPA. Inhalation Exposure to Contaminants From a Water Distribution System. U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development, Washington, DC, EPA/600/S-15/223, 2015.
Impact/Purpose:
During a contamination incident in a water distribution system, individuals engaged in showering or humidifier use could potentially inhale large quantities of contaminated aerosol particles or volatile chemicals. To address this concern a software capability was developed to allow the system-wide quantification of potential adverse health effects associated with inhalation exposure during showering and during the use of ultrasonic humidifiers.
