Ozkaynak, A H., J M. Burke, AND S. Graham. HUMAN EXPOSURE MODELING FOR AIR TOXICS: CONCEPTS, METHODS, AND TOOLS. Presented at EPA Region 1 Meeting, Boston, MA, August 28, 2003.

Impact/Purpose:

The goal of this research to develop models and computational tools to improve understanding of the functional relationships underlying human exposure to air toxics, and to reduce uncertainty in estimates of exposure to individuals and populations of concern. This goal will be met by addressing a number of key objectives in this task and include:

Model Research and Development: develop a multiroute/pathway/media human exposure and dose model for air toxics.

Model Application: apply model to an urban area (Houston, TX) to estimate human population exposure and dose.

Model Performance Evaluation: compare and evaluate exposure and dose estimates with independent model estimates or personal exposure measurements
