Statistical Methods to Estimate Human Exposure to Environmental Pollutants

Using statistical methods to assess human exposure to environmental pollutants is a relatively new concept in environmental sciences. This paper contains discussion of (1) the importance of exposure studies to EP A's environment research and regulatory efforts; (2) new approaches to measuring total human exposure; (3) several recent human exposure field studies, looking at the specific contributions of survey research techniques to these studies: and (4) implications of the findings of total human exposure studies.
