There are many models available on the internet to estimate dietary exposure. This exercise guides you in using the U.S. EPA Dietary Exposure Potential Model.
Use the Excel version of the SHEDS (Zartarian et al., 2000) model and the included activity pattern (right hand of a university student) to estimate the incremental dermal exposure to chlorpyrifos. Also use the data included in Zartarian et al., (2000).
Please describe briefly the context in which ConsExpo can be used to model inhalation exposure (e.g., What sorts of chemicals does the model estimate exposure from? Can the model be used for indoor or outdoor exposure? etc.). Discuss the major features and differences of the different exposure and uptake models.
Discuss the major features and differences of the different exposure and uptake models for dermal exposure and uptake.
Discuss the major features and differences of the different exposure and uptake models for oral exposure and uptake.
The book "Exposure Analysis" (533p), edited by Wayne R. Ott, Anne C. Steinemann, and Lance A. Wallace, was published in 2007 by CRC Press, Boca Raton (Taylor & Francis Group). It is the first complete resource in the emerging scientific discipline of exposure analysis.
