“…An explicit breakdown of these data for children < 12 years of age appears in Table 1 The person-days of activity data can be used in exposure assessments in a number of ways. Each person-day of data can be used separately to represent individuals in a modeling exercise, or the person-days can be organized into cohorts (such as female babies < 6 months of age) and used as a pool from which a random sampling routine selects one individual to represent the cohort for a day (76)(77)(78)(79). Macroactivity data can also be aggregated over the total population or a cohort of the population to obtain average or other statistical measures of activity for some specified time period.…”

“…The motivation for this work is to (1) develop first-time risk results for some acute health endpoints (hospital admissions, acute effects for populations engaged in moderate exertion for short and prolonged periods) and (2) update previous risk results (Hayes et al 1987(Hayes et al , 1989 for populations exposed. to ozone while engaged in heavy exertion for 1 h. The latter involves using recent exposure estimates from pNEhU0, that (3) reflect analysis of possible alternative NAAQS for ozone.…”

We review the factors influencing children's exposure to environmental contaminants and the data available to characterize and assess that exposure. Children's activity pattern data requirements are demonstrated in the context of the algorithms used to estimate exposure by inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion. Currently, data on children's exposures and activities are insufficient to adequately assess multimedia exposures to environmental contaminants. As a result, regulators use a series of default assumptions and exposure factors when conducting exposure assessments. Data to reduce uncertainty in the assumptions and exposure estimates are needed to ensure chemicals are regulated appropriately to protect children's health. To improve the database, advancement in the following general areas of research is required: identification of appropriate age/developmental benchmarks for categorizing children in exposure assessment; development and improvement of methods for monitoring children's exposures and activities; collection of activity pattern data for children (especially young children) required to assess exposure by all routes; collection of data on concentrations of environmental contaminants, biomarkers, and transfer coefficients that can be used as inputs to aggregate exposure models.
