Important Exposure Factors for Children Report
EPA's Office of Research and Development announces the availability of the report, Important Exposure Factors for Children: An Analysis of Laboratory and Observational Field Data Characterizing Cumulative Exposure to Pesticides (EPA 600/R-07/013). The report integrates results from 13 different research studies that include pilot-scale and large observational exposure studies, as well as laboratory evaluations of sampling and analysis methods used in these studies. It includes real-world data which are critical for improving exposure assessments. The findings ensure that EPA exposure scientists, modelers and risk assessors have the most up-to-date scientific information available for use in developing more accurate risk assessments and risk reduction measures.

Publication: Aging and Toxic Response: Issues Relevant to Risk Assessment (Final)
EPA has released a final report entitled, Aging and Toxic Response: Issues Relevant to Risk Assessment. This document contributes to the Agency's efforts to better understand the physiology of aging in order to protect the health of older persons, and identifies several data gaps and research needs that may inform the Office of Research and Development's Research Initiative on Aging in conducting research for better characterize risk to the elderly population from exposure to environmental agents.
