Exposure Research
Methods, Models, Tools, & Databases
 |
Air Powerful models, tools, and databases developed by EPA scientists are used around the world to evaluate air quality, study climate change, and predict how alternative policy scenarios would change the air at local, regional, and international scales. |
 |
Chemical Safety From powerful models to extensive chemical property databases, EPA’s exposure science has produced several ways to study, track, and characterize chemicals and their properties. |
 |
Climate Change EPA’s Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model and the Remote Sensing Information Gateway are helping scientists find real world solutions to the complicated problem of global climate change. |
 |
Ecosystems Exposure scientists have developed a wide range of products designed to help protect and study fragile ecosystems – including soil, air, water, flora, and fauna. |
 |
Health EPA scientists have developed a variety of methods, models, tools, and databases to access how people and ecosystems are exposed to pollutants. These tools are used in risk assessments to develop strategies for protecting human health and the environment. |
 |
Land and Waste Management EPA’s exposure research provides data, models, and tools to protect land resources and effectively handle and contain waste. |
 |
Sustainability Sustainability is the key to creating a cleaner, healthier world. Methods, models, tools and databases developed by EPA exposure scientists help decision-makers find sustainable solutions for many of today’s environmental challenges. |
 |
Water EPA’s exposure methods, models, tools and databases are not only used across the country to ensure safe drinking water, they are also being used by researchers to identify emerging water-borne threats from chemicals, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. |
