AERMOD [1]

Show details
AERMOD is a steady-state plume model that incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts, including treatment of both surface and elevated sources, and both simple and complex terrain. There are two input data processors that are regulatory components of the AERMOD modeling system: AERMET, a meteorological data preprocessor that incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts, and AERMAP, a terrain data preprocessor that incorporates complex terrain using USGS Digital Elevation Data

Air Pollutants Exposure Model (APEX) [3]

Show details
The Air Pollutants Exposure Model (APEX) is intended to be applied at the local, urban, or consolidated metropolitan area scale and currently only addresses inhalation exposures. The model simulates the movement of individuals through time and space and their exposure to the given pollutant in various microenvironments (e.g., outdoors, indoors residence, in-vehicle). The user may choose the number and types of microenvironments to be included, select the time period of interest, use either monitored ambient air quality data or values provided from dispersion or other modeling runs, and use either a mass balance approach or an empirical ratio-based (factor) approach to estimate indoor and/or in-vehicle concentrations. Results of the APEX simulations are provided as hourly and summary exposure and/or dose estimates, depending on the application, for each individual included in the simulation as well as summary statistics for the population modeled.

Dietary Exposure Potential Model (DEPM) [54]

Show details
A model and database system, termed the Dietary Exposure Potential Model (DEPM), correlates extant food information in a format for estimating dietary exposure. The resident database system includes several national, government-sponsored food intake surveys and chemical residue data from monitoring programs. A special feature of the DEPM is the use of recipes developed specifically for exposure analysis that link consumption survey data for prepared foods to the chemical residue information, which is normally reported for raw food ingredients. Consumption in the model is based on 11 food groups containing approximately 820 exposure core food (ECF) items with similar basic ingredients, established from mean values of cosumption of over 6700 food items commonly identified in food surveys. The summary ECF databases are aggregated in a fashion to allow analyst selection of demographic factors, such as age/gender groups, geographical regions, ethnic groups and economic status. Daily intake is estimated by the model based on mean values of residues reported for over 350 pesticides and environmental contaminants.

Diffusion Coefficient Estimation [55]

Show details
Diffusion coefficients are required inputs to some environmental transport or risk assessment models. Literature values are sometimes available for these parameters, although, often the literture values are determined at 25 oC. When parameter values are otherwise unavailable, either for an unusual chemical, or for a temperature not reported in the literature, a calculated value may be useful. EPA's two versions of on-line calculator for estimating water and air phase diffusion coefficients are availab. The first contains preset inputs for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and oxygenated additives of gasoline. The second version requires generation of input parameters for the chemicals of interest.

EMEP-MSCE: Modelled POP concentrations in soil [63]

Show details
MSC-E produces maps on modelled concentrations of POPs at the regional level (Europe, up to 2001) or for the northern hemisphere. Concentrations are modelled starting from emissions to air (by country) and by using a multimedia fate and transfer model. Comparison exercises between modelled and measured soil concentrations are available for some POPs (HCH, HCB). By June 2004, following POPs are included into the modellering activities: PAHs, PCDD/Fs, PCBs, ?-HCH, HCB and the new substances: HCBD, PeCB, PCN-47, ?-endosulphan, dicofol. Maps for soil are at present available for benzo(b)fluoranthene, PCDD/Fs, PCBs, ?-HCH and HCB. Data are regularly updated. Maps are available from the website. Numerical data are available on request. [64]

Receptor models provide scientific support for current ambient air quality standards and for implementation of those standards by identifying and quantifying contributions of various source types. EPA PMF is one of the receptor models being developed by ORD. The user provides a file of concentrations where each column contains a different species and each row contains a different time, typically an hour or a day. Then EPA PMF uses a constrained weighted least squares approach to decompose the file of concentrations into a set of profiles and times series of contributions for each of the profiles.

Gridded Population of the World (GPWv3) is the third edition of a large-scale data product that demonstrates the spatial distribution of human populations across the globe. The purpose of the GPWv3 project is to provide a spatially disaggregated population layer that is compatible with datasets from social, economic, and earth science fields. The output is unique in that the distribution of human population is converted from national or subnational spatial units (usually administrative units) of varying resolutions, to a series of geo-referenced quadrilateral grids at a resolution of 2.5 arc minutes. Included information for 232 countries with varying spatial resolutions. There are also estimated for year 2010 and 2015 available.

This report is a practical guide for the application of probabilistic distributions of default assessment factors in human health risk assessments. RIVM and TNO developed the use of probabilistic assessment factors as a first step towards further national and international harmonisation. Consensus was reached on the nature of distributions of several human assessment factors. The proposed distributions will be applied in risk assessments of new and existing substances and pesticides, produced at RIVM and TNO.

QSAR for skin permeation [197]

Show details
This webpage provides a refinement of the dermal absorption model of Wilschut et al. (1995). The refinement includes a revision of the mathematical description of the model and the estimation of the lag time from published validated skin permeation coefficients and from stratum corneum/water partition coefficients of generally apolar substances. The permeation coefficient and the stratum corneum/water partition values together are indispensable for the estimation of the lag time.

Waterbase is the generic name given to the EEA's databases on the status and quality (pesticides in grounf water, nutrients and organic matter) of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies and transitional, coastal and marine waters, and on the quantity of Europe's water resources. Waterbase contains timely, reliable and policy-relevant data collected from EEA member countries through the Eionet-Water (formerly known as Eurowaternet) process. Eionet-Water selects validated monitoring data from national databases and adds information on the physical characteristics of the water bodies being monitored and on the pressures potentially affecting water quality. The added value of Waterbase is that data collected through the Eionet-Water process are from statistically stratified monitoring stations and groundwater bodies and are comparable at the European level.

A special feature of the DEPM is the use of recipes developed specifically for exposure analysis that link consumption survey data for prepared foods to the chemical residue information, which is normally reported for raw food ingredients. Consumption in the model is based on 11 food groups containing approximately 820 exposure core food (ECF) items with similar basic ingredients, established from mean values of cosumption of over 6700 food items commonly identified in food surveys. The summary ECF databases are aggregated in a fashion to allow analyst selection of demographic factors, such as age/gender groups, geographical regions, ethnic groups and economic status.
