We review the factors influencing children's exposure to environmental contaminants and the data available to characterize and assess that exposure. Children's activity pattern data requirements are… (More)
BACKGROUND
Dietary exposure from food to toxic inorganic arsenic (iAs) in the general U.S. population has not been well studied.
OBJECTIVES
The goal of this research was to quantify dietary As… (More)
Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of young children who may contact arsenic residues while playing on and around chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood playsets and decks. Although… (More)
To help address the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996, a physically based probabilistic model has been developed to quantify and analyze dermal and nondietary ingestion exposure and dose to… (More)
Because of their mouthing behaviors, children have a higher potential for exposure to available chemicals through the nondietary ingestion route; thus, frequency of hand-to-mouth activity is an… (More)
Reliable, evaluated human exposure and dose models are important for understanding the health risks from chemicals. A case study focusing on permethrin was conducted because of this insecticide's… (More)
Questionnaires and diaries, the current methods of human activity data collection, do not accurately capture the detail necessary to quantify exposure incurred through the dermal and non-dietary… (More)
This paper develops a unified theoretical framework for understanding exposure to environmental pollutants and other agents. It reviews the scientific literature to describe the many diverse and… (More)
Thirty-three hours of videotape collected in a 1993 pilot study were quantified, via a video translation software application, to obtain left and right hand activity data of four children of… (More)
A probabilistic model (SHEDS-Wood) was developed to examine children's exposure and dose to chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood, as described in Part 1 of this two-part article. This Part 2… (More)
