The Exposure and Fate Assessment Screening Tool, Version 2.0, also known as E-FAST V2.0, is a screening-level computer tool that allows users to estimate chemical concentrations in water to which aquatic life may be exposed, as well as generate human inhalation, drinking water ingestion, and fish ingestion exposures resulting from chemical releases to air, water, and land. E-FAST V2.0 is appropriate for use as a screening tool to assess potential exposures from chemical discharges to air (stack or fugitive releases), surface water, or land. E-FAST V2.0 can also be used to estimate potential inhalation and dermal exposures to consumer products, such as hard surface cleaners, soaps, air fresheners, paints, gasoline, and motor oil. The exposed populations assessed by the model are either some segment of the general population or consumers. | |||

Short description
The Exposure and Fate Assessment Screening Tool, Version 2.0, also known as E-FAST V2.0, is a screening-level computer tool that allows users to estimate chemical concentrations in water to which aquatic life may be exposed, as well as generate human inhalation, drinking water ingestion, and fish ingestion exposures resulting from chemical releases to air, water, and land. E-FAST V2.0 is appropriate for use as a screening tool to assess potential exposures from chemical discharges to air (stack or fugitive releases), surface water, or land. E-FAST V2.0 can also be used to estimate potential inhalation and dermal exposures to consumer products, such as hard surface cleaners, soaps, air fresheners, paints, gasoline, and motor oil. The exposed populations assessed by the model are either some segment of the general population or consumers.
