Child-Specific Exposure Factors Handbook USEPA

Child-Specific Exposure Factors Handbook (USEPA 2008a)... [Pg.8]

Default values have been published for use in estimating exposures — for example, from food and water consumption in adults and children, soil ingestion in children, and respiration rates in children and adults (USEPA, 1990). The Child-Specific Exposure Factors Handbook summarizes data on human behaviour and characteristics that affect children s exposure to environmental agents and recommends values to use for these factors (USEPA, 2002a).

Guidelines for exposure assessment (USEPA, 1992a OECD, 1999 IPCS, 2000) and a handbook of child-specific exposure factors (USEPA, 2002a) have been published. Both list a number of references that are applicable to the quantitative estimate of exposure. Generally, the methods used for the quantitative estimate of exposure are not different for children and adults. The magnitude of exposure is a product of the exposure concentration as a function of... [Pg.240]
