Atmospheric Exposure Integration Branch
AMAD Staff
The Atmospheric Exposure Integration Branch (AEIB) develops methods and tools to integrate air quality process-based models with human health and ecosystems exposure models and studies. The three major focus areas of this Branch are: (1) linkage of air quality with human exposure, (2) deposition of ambient pollutants onto sensitive ecosystems, and (3) assessment of the impact of air quality regulations (accountability). AEIB’s research to link air quality to human exposure includes urban-scale modeling, atmospheric dispersion studies, and support of exposure field studies and epidemiological studies. The urban-scale modeling program (which includes collection and integration of experimental data from its Fluid Modeling Facility) is focused on building “hot-spot” air toxic analysis algorithms and linkages to human exposure models. The deposition research program develops tools for assessing nutrient loadings and ecosystem vulnerability, and the accountability program develops techniques to evaluate the impact of the regulatory strategies that have implemented on air quality and conducts research to link emissions and ambient pollutant concentrations with exposure, and human and ecological health endpoints.
