Resource Abstract:
- description: The Exposure Forecaster Database (ExpoCastDB) is EPA's database for aggregating chemical exposure information
and can be used to help with chemical exposure predictions. The database currently includes biomonitoring exposure data from
three studies: the American Healthy Homes Survey, the First National Environmental Health Survey of Child Care Centers and
the Children's Total Exposure to Persistent Pesticides and Other Persistent Organic Pollutants study. Data include the
amounts of chemicals found in food, drinking water, air, dust indoor surfaces and urine. The database will eventually include
high-throughput exposure predictions for thousands of chemicals based on manufacture and use information. EPA researchers
developed high-throughput exposure models to predict exposures for 1,763 chemicals using production volume, environmental
fate and transport models, and a simple indicator of consumer product use.The model is being improved by adding more refined
indoor and consumer use information since these are also large determinants of exposure. As these models are refined and more
exposure data is collected, it will be added to ExpoCastDB.; abstract: The Exposure Forecaster Database (ExpoCastDB) is EPA's
