Impact/Purpose:
The overall objective of this research is to support NERL's human exposure measurement and exposure modeling efforts by reducing the amount of uncertainty in the dietary measurements critically needed for improved risk assessment. Specifically, the research provides the tools needed to collect and analyze food samples and to design and understand dietary measurements. The current specific objectives are:
1. to investigate more efficient methods for characterizing population exposures in dietary measurements studies (short-term subtask initiated in FY00; extramural);
2. to develop and improve analytical methods for contaminants in composite food samples collected in dietary measurements studies (long-term subtask; in-house);
3. to improve the model and food database system used in measurements studies for estimating dietary exposure and identifying sources (long-term subtask; extramural).
