To mathematically predict human exposure to consumer products, RIVM has developed the software model ConsExpo. The most recent version of ConsExpo is version 4.1.
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 average concentration of particulate matter (PM) in the air breathed by a person in Palo Alto is 25 μg/m3. Assume that 75% of PM (by mass) is 6 μm particles, 20% is 2 μm particles, and 5% is 0.1 μm particles.
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.
