Understanding third hand exposure of Australian people to methamphetamine

在澳大利亚，社区高度关注无意中接触到受污染房屋中的甲基苯丙胺残留物。在这项建议中，一个跨学科的研究小组旨在与公共卫生当局和公共住房行业合作，就受污染的室内环境中总暴露于甲基苯丙胺的情况进行合作研究。该项目将评估接触途径(通过空气、灰尘、表面)，并将其与居住者样本(尿液、头发)中的甲基苯丙胺水平联系起来。该项目预计将显著提高我们对第三手接触如何导致人体内部接触的理解。这些知识为住宅室内暴露的政策和补救策略提供了证据。

In Australia, there is high community concern around inadvertent exposure to methamphetamine residues in contaminated houses. In this proposal, an interdisciplinary research team aim to engage with public health authorities and public housing industry to conduct collaborative research on total exposure to methamphetamine in contaminated indoor environments. The project will assess exposure pathways (via air, dust, surfaces) and link them with methamphetamine levels in samples from occupants (urine, hair). The project is expected to significantly enhance our understanding of how third hand exposure leads to internal exposure in humans. This knowledge provides evidence for policies on residential indoor exposures and remediation strategies.
