Exposure Assessment Tools and Models
The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) has developed Several exposure assessment methods, databases, and predictive models to help in evaluating what happens to chemicals when they are used and released to the environment; and how workers, the general public, consumers and the aquatic ecosystems may be exposed to chemicals.
See also: Chemical Screening Tool For Exposures & Environmental Releases (ChemSTEER) ; Exposure, Fate Assessment Screening Tool (E-FAST) ; Graphical Exposure Modeling Systems (GEMS) ; Multi-Chamber Concentration and Exposure Model (MCCEM) ; ReachScan ; Source Ranking Database ; Wall Paint Exposure Assessment Model(WPEM)

Exposure, Fate Assessment Screening Tool (E-FAST) Provides screening-level estimates of the concentrations of chemicals released to air, surface water,landfills, and from consumer products. Estimates potential inhalation and ingestion dose rates resulting from these releases. Modeled estimates of concentrations and doses are designed to reasonably overestimate exposures, for use in screening level assessment.
