Core--Exposure Assessment and Control

描述：增加了环境评估和控制核心（EACC） 作为1995年NIEHS审查的结果，1996年作为研究核心加入该中心 以马克思该核心的目标是为中心提供基本技能 以及实施调查人员计划所需的工具。所述芯包括 来自土木和环境工程部门的调查人员， 职业和环境卫生， 实验室，他们关心测量，建模和修复 该州农村和农业环境中的环境暴露， 地区，国家，以及国际。核心由两个主要部分组成 组成部分：职业健康研究，重点是气溶胶和 生物和环境研究，重点是地下水和暴露 评估。 环境评估和控制核心的主要目标是 提供农村环境暴露领域的原创性研究 评估的次要目标是提供干预和工程 解决农村和农业问题。 研究的核心范围是测量、建模和补救 环境和职业污染物。具体目标是 核心是： (1)进行接触评估，以支持流行病学研究和 环境污染和风险评估;（2）风险评估 环境污染物的方法，特别是在农业和 农村环境;（3）农村和农业环境整治 空气、水和土壤中的问题;（4）分析测量和建模 环境污染物;（5）开发新的方法，以减少 不确定性和提高暴露评估的敏感性。额外 具体目标是促进环境卫生评估方面的培训， 控制研究。

Description: The Environmental Assessment and Control Core (EACC) was added to the Center in 1996 as a research core as a result of the 1995 NIEHS Review Committee. The goal of this core is to provide the Center with basic skills and tools necessary to implement investigators' programs. The core includes investigators from the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Occupational and Environmental Health and from the University Hygienic Laboratory, who are concerned with measuring, modeling, and remediation of environmental exposures in rural and agricultural settings in the state, region, and nation, as well as internationally. The core consists of two main components: Occupational Health research with a focus on aerosols and biologics and Environmental Research with a focus on groundwater and exposure assessments. The primary goal of the Environmental Assessment and Control Core is to provide original research in the area of rural environmental exposure assessments with a secondary goal of providing intervention and engineering remediation of rural and agricultural problems. The scope of the research core is the measurement, modeling, and remediation of environmental and occupational contaminants. The specific aims of this core are: (1) exposure assessment in support of epidemiologic studies and surveys of environmental contamination and for risk assessment; (2) risk assessment methods for environmental contaminants, especially in the agricultural and rural environment; (3) remediation of rural and agricultural environmental problems in air, water, and soil; (4) analytical measurements and modeling of environmental contaminants; and (5) development of new methods to reduce uncertainty and improve sensitivity in exposure assessments. An additional specific aim is to facilitate training in environmental health assessment and control research.
