Inhalation Exposure Simulation Modeling

Project
PROJECT
This project seeks to develop, apply, and evaluate models of human exposure to air pollution in homes, cars, outdoors, public locations, offices, etc. These models make use of human activity pattern data, material balance models, monitoring data, and environmental parameters to predict exposures and explore their determinants for both individuals and populations. A main goal is to identify ways to reduce or eliminate hazardous exposures from our everyday lives.
