Understanding Children’s Exposures to Chemicals
The goal of this research is to understand children's exposures to pesticides and other environmental chemicals that are present in their everyday environments. Research to be performed under this task will identify those chemicals, pathways, and activities that represent the highest potential exposures to children; determine the factors that influence these exposures; and develop a core set of exposure concentration and exposure factor data for young children to be applied in the risk assessment process. To meet this goal, methods, measurements, and models will be developed, refined, and evaluated using existing information and collection of new data. The outputs from this research program will provide critical data needed to fill existing data gaps in exposure and risk assessments for children, refine methods for assessing aggregate exposure, and provide inputs for exposure models.
