The Environmental Assessment Core

项目摘要 环境评估核心的目的是为开展以下工作提供集中的资源 与儿童哮喘研究有关的暴露评估活动。目标是为以下方面提供投入 研究设计、现场采样设备和支持以及分析服务。对环境保护的支持 评估核心是基于与暴露相关的活动在所有研究项目中的重要性而确定的。 核心将协助项目1对颗粒物、二氧化氮、尼古丁和过敏原进行家庭监测。这个 CORE将协助项目2对PM2.5质量、超细颗粒和尼古丁进行个人和家庭监测。 我们还将为项目3收集颗粒物样本。环境评估核心将进行家居 检查、收集和评估附近环境空气污染监测站的数据，并提供质量 保证和质量控制方面的专业知识。环境评估核心将与数据交互 管理和统计核心，提供暴露评估数据，以便纳入分析。

Project Summary The purpose of the Environmental Assessment Core is to provide a centralized resource for the conduction of exposure assessment activities related to children's asthma research. The objectives are to provide input into research design, field sampling equipment and support, and analytical services. Support of an Environmental Assessment Core is justified based on the importance of exposure-related activities in all research projects. The Core will assist Project 1 with home monitoring to particulate matter, NO2, nicotine, and allergens. The Core will assist Project 2 with personal and home monitoring for PM2.5 mass, ultrafine particles, and nicotine. We will also collect particulate samples for Project 3. The Environmental Assessment Core will conduct home inspections, collect and evaluate data from nearby ambient air pollution monitoring stations, and provide quality assurance and quality control expertise. The Environmental Assessment Core will interact with the Data Management and Statistics Core to provide exposure assessment data for integration into analyses.
