2.8. SOIL INGESTION AND MCA «* CITE
2.8.1. Background
The ingestion of soil is a potential source of human toxics exposure. The potential for
exposure to contaminants via this source is greater for children because they are likely to ingest
more soil than adults as a result of behavioral patterns present during childhood. Inadvertent
soil ingestion among children may occur through the mouthing of objects or hands. Mouthing
behavior is considered to be a normal phase of childhood development. Adults may also ingest
soil or dust particles that adhere to food, cigarettes, or their hands. Deliberate soil ingestion is
defined as pica and is considered to be relatively uncommon. Because normal inadvertent soil
ingestion is more prevalent and data for individuals with pica behavior are limited, this section
focuses primarily on normal soil ingestion that occurs as a result of mouthing or unintentional
hand-to-mouth activity.
Several studies have been conducted to estimate the amount of soil ingested by children.
Most of the early studies attempted to estimate the amount of soil ingested by measuring the
amount of dirt present on children's hands and making generalizations based on behavior. More
recently, soil intake studies have been conducted using a methodology that measures trace
elements in feces and soil which are believed to be poorly absorbed in the gut. These
measurements are used to estimate the amount of soil ingested over a specified time period. The
available studies on soil intake are summarized in the following sections. Studies on soil intake
among children have been classified as either key studies or relevant studies based on their
applicability to exposure assessment needs. Recommended intake rates are based on the results
of key studies, but relevant studies are also presented to provide the reader with added
perspective on the current state-of-knowledge pertaining to soil intake. Information on soil
ingestion among adults are presented based on available data from a limited number of studies.
Relevant information on the prevalence of pica and intake among individuals exhibiting pica
behavior are also presented.
2.8.2. Key Studies on Soil Intake Among-Children
Binder et al. - Estimating Soil Ingestion: Use of Tracer Elements in Estimating the
Amount of Soil Ingested by Young Children - Binder et al. (1986) studied the ingestion of soil

among children 1 to 3 years of age who wore diapers using a tracer technique modified from
a method previously used to measure soil ingestion among grazing animals. The children were
studied during the summer of 1984 as part of a larger study of residents living near a lead
smelter in East Helena, Montana. Soiled diapers were collected over a 3-day period from
65 children (42 males and 23 females), and composited samples of soil were obtained from the
children's yards. Both excreta and soil samples were analyzed for aluminum, silicon, and
titanium. These elements were found in soil but were thought to be poorly absorbed in the gut
and to have been present in the diet only in limited quantities. This made them useful tracers
for estimating soil intake. Excreta measurements were obtained for 59 of the children. Soil
ingestion by each child was estimated based on each of the three tracer elements using a standard
assumed fecal dry weight of 15 g/day, and the following equation.
Tt€ = •**•* * FI (Eqn. 2-19)
where:
T; e = estimated soil ingestion for child i based on element e (g/day);
fi(C = concentration of element e in fecal sample of child i (mg/g);
Fj = fecal dry weight (g/day); and
Si>e = concentration of element e in child i's yard soil (mg/g).
The analysis conducted by Binder et al. (1986) assumed that: (1) the tracer elements were
neither lost nor introduced during sample processing; (2) the soil ingested by children originates
primarily from their own yards; and (3) that absorption of the tracer elements by children
occurred in only small amounts. The study did not distinguish between ingestion of soil and
housedust nor did it account for the presence of the tracer elements in ingested foods or
medicines.
The arithmetic mean quantity of soil ingested by the children in the Binder et al. (1986)
study was estimated to be 181 mg/day (range 25 to 1,324) based on the aluminum tracer; 184
mg/day (range 31 to 799) based oa the silicon tracer; and 1,834 mg/day (range 4 to 17,076)

based on the titanium tracer (Table 2-250). The overall mean soil ingestion estimate based on
the minimum of the three individual tracer estimates for each child was 108 mg/day (range 4 to
708). The 95th percentile values for aluminum, silicon, and titanium were 584 mg/day, 578
mg/day, and 9,590 mg/day, respectively. The 95th percentile value based on the minimum of
the three individual tracer estimates for each child was 386 mg/day.
The authors were not able to explain the difference between the results for titanium and
for the other two elements, but speculated that unrecognized sources of titanium in the diet or
in the laboratory processing of stool samples may have accounted for the increased levels. The
frequency distribution graph of soil ingestion estimates based on titanium shows that a group of
21 children had particularly high titanium values (i.e., > 1,000 mg/day). Hie remainder of the
children showed titanium ingestion estimates at lower levels, with a distribution more
comparable to that of the other elements.
The advantages of this study are that a relatively large number of children were studied
and tracer elements were used to estimate soil ingestion. However, the children studied may
not be representative of the U.S. population and the study did not account for tracers ingested
via foods or medicines. Also, the use of an assumed fecal weight instead of actual fecal weights
may have biased the results of this study. Finally, because of the short-term nature of the
survey, soil intake estimates may not be entirely representative of long-term behavior, especially
at the upper-end of the distribution of intake.
Clausing et al. - A Method for Estimating Soil Ingestion by Children - Clausing et al.
(1987) conducted a soil ingestion study with Dutch children using a tracer element methodology
similar to that of Binder et al. (1986). Aluminum, titanium, and acid-insoluble residue (AIR)
contents were determined for fecal samples from children, aged 2 to 4, attending a nursery
school, and for samples of playground dirt at that school. Twenty-seven daily fecal samples
were obtained over a 5-day period for the 18 children examined. Using the average soil
concentrations present at the school, and assuming a standard fecal dry weight of 10 g/day,
Clausing et al. (1987) estimated soil ingestion for each tracer. Clausing et al. (1987) also
collected eight daily fecal samples from six hospitalized, bedridden children. These children
served as a control group, representing children who had very limited access to soil.

The average quantity of soil ingested by the school children in this study was as follows:
230 rag/day (range 23 to 979 mg/day) for aluminum; 129 mg/day (range 48 to 362 mg/day) for
AIR; and 1,430 mg/day (range 64 to 11,620 mg/day) for titanium (Table 2-251). As in the
Binder et al. (1986) study, a fraction of the children (6/19) showed titanium values well above
1,000 mg/day, with most of the remaining children showing substantially lower values. Based
on the limiting Tracer Method (LTM), mean soil intake was estimated to be 105 mg/day with
a population standard deviation of 67 mg/day (range 23 to 362 mg/day). Use of the LTM
assumed that "the maximum amount of soil ingested corresponded with the lowest estimate from
the three tracers* (Clausing et al., 1987). Geometric mean soil intake was estimated to be 90
mg/day. This assumes that the maximum amount of soil ingested cannot be higher than the
lowest estimate for the individual tracers.
Mean soil intake for the hospitalized children was estimated to be 56 mg/day based on
aluminum (Table 2-252). For titanium, three of the children had estimates well in excess of
1,000 mg/day, with the remaining three children in the range of 28 to 58 mg/day. Using the
LTM method, the mean soil ingestion rate was estimated to be 49 mg/day with a population
standard deviation of 22 mg/day (range 26 to 84 mg/day). The geometric mean soil intake rate
was 45 mg/day. The data on hospitalized children suggest a major nonsoil source of titanium
for some children, and may suggest a background nonsoil source of aluminum. However,
conditions specific to hospitalization (e.g., medications) was not considered. AIR measurements
were not reported for the hospitalized children. Assuming that the tracer-based soil ingestion
rates observed in hospitalized children actually represent background tracer intake from dietary
and other nonsoil sources, mean soil ingestion by nursery school children was estimated to be
56 mg/day, based on the LTM (i.e., 105 mg/day for nursery school children minus 49 mg/day
for hospitalized children) (Clausing et al. 1987).
The advantages of this study are that Clausing et al. (1987) evaluated soil ingestion
among two populations of children that had differences in access to soil, and corrected soil
intake rates based on background estimates derived from the hospitalized group. However, a
smaller number of children were used in this study than in the Binder et al. (1986) study and

these children may not be representative of the U.S. population. Tracer elements in foods or
medicines were not evaluated. Also, intake rates derived from this study may not be
representative of soil intake over the long-term because of the short-term nature of the study.
Van WIfnen et al. - Estimated Soil Ingestion by Children - In a study by Van Wijnen et
al. (1990), soil ingestion among Dutch children ranging in age from 1 to 5 years was evaluated
using a tracer element methodology similar to that used by Clausing et al. (1987). Van Wijnen
et al. (1990) measured three tracers (i.e., titanium, aluminum, and AIR) in soil and feces and
estimated soil ingestion based on the LTM. An average daily feces weight of 15 g dry weight
was assumed. A total of 292 children attending daycare centers were sampled during the first
of two sampling periods and 18? children were sampled in the second sampling period; 162 of
these children were sampled during both periods (i.e., at the beginning and near the end of the
summer of 1986). A total of 78 children were sampled at campgrounds, and IS hospitalized
children were sampled. The mean values for these groups were: 162 mg/day for children in
daycare centers, 213 mg/day for campers and 93 mg/day for hospitalized children. Van Wijnen
et al. (1990) also reported geometric mean LTM values because soil intake rates were found to
be skewed and the log transformed data were approximately normally distributed. Geometric
mean LTM values were estimated to be 1 1 1 mg/day for children in daycare centers, 174 mg/day
for children vacationing at campgrounds (Table 2-253) and 74 mg/day for hospitalized children
(70-120 mg/day based on the 95 percent confidence limits of the mean); a 5 mg/day represents
die midpoint. AIR was the limiting tracer in about 80 percent of the samples. Among children
attending daycare centers, soil intake was also found to be higher when the weather was good
(i.e., <2 days/week precipitation) than when the weather was bad (i.e., >4 days/week
precipitation (Table 2-254). Van Wijnen et al. (1990) suggest that the mean LTM value for
hospitalized infants represents background intake of tracers and should be used to correct the soil
intake rates based on LTM values for other sampling groups. Using mean values, corrected soil
intake rates were 69 mg/day (162 mg/day minus 93 mg/day) for daycare children and 120
mg/day (213 mg/day minus 93 mg/day) for campers. Corrected geometric mean soil intake was
estimated to range from 0 to 90 mg/day with a 90th percentile value of 190 mg/day for the
various age categories within the daycare group and 30 to 200 mg/day with a 90th percentile
value of 300 mg/day for the various age categories within the camping group.

The advantage of this study is that soil intake was estimated for three different
populations of children; one expected to have high intake, one expected to have "typical" intake
and one expected to have low or background-level intake. Van Wijnen et al. (1990) used the
background tracer measurements to correct soil intake rates for the other two populations.
Tracer concentrations in food and medicine were not evaluated. Also, the population of children
studied was relatively large, but may not be representative of the U.S. population. This study
was conducted over a relatively short time period. Thus, estimated intake rates may not reflect
long-term patterns, especially at the high-end of the distribution. Another limitation of this study
is that values were not reported element-by-element which would be the preferred way of
reporting.
Davis et al. - Quantitative Estimates of Soil Ingestion in Normal Children Between the
ages of 2 and 7 years; Population-Based Estimates Using Aluminum, Silicon, and Titanium as
Soil Tracer Elements - Davis et al. (1990) also used a mass-balance/tracer technique to estimate
soil ingestion among children. In this study, 104 children between the ages of 2 and 7 years
were randomly selected from a three-city area in southeastern Washington State. The study was
conducted over a seven day period, primarily during the summer. Daily soil ingestion was
evaluated by collecting and analyzing soil and house dust samples, feces, urine, and duplicate
food samples for aluminum, silicon, and titanium. In addition, information on dietary habits and
demographics was collected in an attempt to identify behavioral and demographic characteristics
that influence soil intake rates among children. The amount of soil ingested on a daily basis was
estimated using the following equation:
. , * t,
where:
S; 0 = soil ingested for child i based on tracer e (g);
DWf = feces dry weight (g);
DWp = feces dry weight on toilet paper (g);
Ef = tracer amount in feces Oig/g);

*..• CUE
E,, = tracer amount in urine
DWfd = food dry weight (g);
£fd = tracer amount in food (pg/g); and
E.OJI = tracer concentration in soil Gig/g).
The soil intake rates were corrected by adding the amount of tracer in vitamins and medications
to the amount of tracer in food, and adjusting the food quantities, feces dry weights, and tracer
concentrations in urine to account for missing samples.
Soil ingestion rates were highly variable, especially those based on titanium. Mean daily
soil ingestion estimates were 38.9 mg/day for aluminum, 82.4 mg/day for silicon and 245.5
mg/day for titanium (Table 2-255). Median values were 25 mg/day for aluminum, 50 mg/day
for silicon, and 81 mg/day for titanium. Davis et al. (1990) also evaluated the extent to which
differences in tracer concentrations in house dust and yard soil impacted estimated soil ingestion
rates. The value used in the denominator of the mass balance equation was recalculated to
represent a weighted average of the tracer concentration in yard soil and house dust based on
the proportion of time the child spent indoors and outdoors. The adjusted mean soil/dust intake
rates were 64.5 mg/day for aluminum, 160.0 mg/day for silicon, and 268.4 mg/day for titanium.
Adjusted median soil/dust intake rates were: 51.8 mg/day for aluminum, 112.4 mg/day for
silicon, and 116.6 mg/day for titanium. Davis et al. (1990) also observed that the following
demographic characteristics were associated with high soil intake rates: male sex, non-white
racial group, low income, operator/laborer as the principal occupation of the parent, and city
of residence. However, none of these factors were predictive of soil intake rates when tested
using multiple linear regression.
The advantages of the Davis et al. (1990) study are mat soil intake rates were corrected
based on the tracer content of foods and medicines and mat a relatively large number of children
were sampled. Also, demographic and behavioral information was collected for the survey
group. However, although a relatively large sample population was surveyed, these children
were all from a single area of the U.S. and may not be representative of the U.S. population as
a whole. The study was conducted over a one-week period during the summer and may not be
representative of long-term (i.e., annual) patterns of intake.

Calabrese et al. - How Much Soil do Young Children Ingest: An Epidemiologic Study -
Calabrese et al. (1989) studied soil ingestion among children using the basic tracer design
developed by Binder et al. (1986). However, in contrast to the Binder et al. (1987) study, eight
tracer elements (i.e., aluminum, barium, manganese, silicon, titanium, vanadium, ytrium, and
zirconium) were analyzed instead of only three (i.e., aluminum, silicon, and titanium). A total
of 64 children between the ages of 1 and 4 years old were included in the study. These children
were all selected from the greater Amherst, Massachusetts area and were predominantly from
two-parent households where the parents were highly educated. The Calabrese et al. (1989)
study was conducted over eight days during a two week period and included the use of a mass-
balance methodology in which duplicate samples of food, medicines, vitamins, and others were
collected and analyzed on a daily basis, in addition to soil and dust samples collected from the
child's home and play area. Fecal and urine samples were also collected and analyzed for tracer
elements. Toothpaste, low in tracer content, was provided to all participants.
In order to validate the mass-balance methodology used to estimate soil ingestion rates
among children and to determine which tracer elements provided the most reliable data on soil
ingestion, known amounts of soil (i.e., 300 mg over three days and 1,500 mg over three days)
containing eight tracers were administered to six adult volunteers (i.e., three males and three
females). Soil samples and feces samples from these adults and duplicate food samples were
analyzed for tracer elements to calculate recovery rates of tracer elements in soil. Based on the
adult validation study, Calabrese et al. (1989) confirmed that the tracer methodology could
adequately detect tracer elements in feces at levels expected to correspond with soil intake rates
in children. Calabrese et al. (1989) also found that aluminum, silicon, and ytrium were the most
reliable of the eight tracer elements analyzed. The standard deviation of recovery of these three
tracers was the lowest and the percentage of recovery was closest to 100 percent (Calabrese, et
al., 1989). The recovery of these three tracers ranged from 120 to 153 percent when 300 mg
of soil had been ingested over a three-day period and from 88 to 94 percent when 1,500 mg soil
had been ingested over a three-day period (Table 2-256).
Using the three most reliable tracer elements, the mean soil intake rate for children,
adjusted to account for the amount of tracer found in food and medicines, was estimated to be
153 mg/day based on aluminum, 154 mg/day based on silicon, and 85 mg/day based on ytrium

(Table 2-257), Median intake rates were somewhat lower (29 mg/day for aluminum, 40 mg/day
for silicon, and 9 mg/day for ytrium). Upper-percentile (i.e., 95th) values were 223 mg/day for
aluminum, 276 mg/day for silicon, and 106 mg/day for ytrium. Similar results were observed
when soil and dust ingestion was combined (Table 2-257). Intake of soil and dust was estimated
using a weighted average of tracer concentration in dust composite samples and in soil composite
samples based on the time children spent at home and away from home, and indoors and
outdoors. Calabrese et al. (1989) suggested that the uie of titanium as a tracer in earlier studies
that lacked food ingestion data may have significantly overestimated soil intake because of the
high levels of titanium in food. Using the median values of aluminum and silicon, Calabrese
et al. (1989) estimated the quantity of soil ingested daily to be 29 mg/day and 40 mg/day,
respectively. It should be noted that soil ingestion for one child in the study ranged from
approximately 10 to 14 grams/day during the second week of observation. Average soil
ingestion for this child was 5 to 7 mg/day, baaed on the entire study period.
The advantages of this study are that intake rates were corrected for tracer concentrations
in foods and medicines and that the methodology was validated using adults. Also, intake was
observed over a longer time period in this study than in earlier studies and the number of tracers
used was larger than for other studies. A relatively large population was studied, but they may
not be entirely representative of the U,S, population because they were wlected from a iingle
location.
2.8.3. Other Relevant Studies on Soil Intake Among Children
Thompson and Burmaster - Parametric Distributions for Soil Ingestion by Children -
Thompson and Burmaster (1991) developed parameterized distributions of soil ingestion rates
for children based on a reanalysis of the data collected by Binder et al. (1986). In the original
Binder et al. (1986) study, an assumed fecal weight of IS g/day was used. Thompson and
Burmaster reestimated the soil ingestion rates from the Binder et al. (1986) study using the
actual stool weights of the study participants instead of the assumed stool weights. Because the
actual stool weights averaged only 7.S g/day, the soil ingestion estimates presented by Thompson
and Burmaster (1991) are approximately one-half of those reported by Binder et al. (1986).
Table 2-258 presents the distribution of estimated soil ingestion rates calculated by Thompson
and Burmaster (1991) based on the three tracers elements (i.e., aluminum, silicon, and titanium),

and on the arithmetic average of soil ingestion based on aluminum and silicon. The mean soil
intake rates were 97 mg/day for aluminum, 85 mg/day for silicon, and 1,004 mg/day for
titanium. The 90th percentile estimates were 197 mg/day for aluminum, 166 mg/day for silicon,
and 2,105 mg/day for titanium. Based on the arithmetic average of aluminum and silicon for
each child, mean soil intake was estimated to be 91 mg/day and 90th percentile intake was
estimated to be 143 mg/day.
Thompson and Burmaster (1991) tested the hypothesis that soil ingestion rates based on
the adjusted Binder et al. (1986) data for aluminum, silicon and the average of these two tracers
were lognormally distributed. The distribution of soil intake based on titanium was not tested
for lognormality because titanium may be present in food in high concentrations and the Binder
et al. (1986) study did not correct for food sources of titanium (Thompson and Burmaster,
1991). Although visual inspection of the distributions for aluminum, silicon, and the average
of these tracers all indicated that they may be lognormally distributed, statistical tests indicated
that only silicon and the average of the silicon and aluminum tracers were lognormally
distributed. Soil intake rates based on aluminum were not lognormally distributed. Table Soil-9
also presents the lognormal distribution parameters and underlying normal distribution
parameters (i.e., the natural logarithms of the data) for aluminum, silicon, and the average of
these two tracers. According to the authors, "the parameters estimated from the underlying
normal distribution are much more reliable and robust* (Thompson and Burmaster, 1991).
The advantages of this study are that it provides percentile data and defines the shape of
soil intake distributions. However, the number of data points used to fit the distribution was
limited. In addition, the study did not generate "new" data. Instead, it provided a reanalysis
of previously-reported data using actual fecal weights. No corrections were made for tracer
intake from food or medicine and the results may not be representative of long-term intake rates
because the data were derived from a short-term study.
Lepow et al. - Role of Airborne Lead in Increased Body Burden of Lead in Hartford
Children - Lepow et al. (1974) estimated ingestion of airborne lead fallout among urban children
by; (1) analyzing surface dirt and dust samples from locations where children played; (2)
measuring hand dirt by applying preweighed adhesive labels to the hands and weighing the
amount of dirt that was removed; and (3) observing "mouthing* behavior over 3 to 6 hours of

normal play. Twenty-two children from an urban area of Connecticut were included in the
study. Lepow et al. (1975) found that the mean weight of soil/dust on the hands was 11 mg.
Assuming that a child would put fingers or other "dirty" objects into his mouth about 10 times
a day ingesting 11 mg of dirt each time, Lepow et al. (1975) estimated that the daily soil
ingestion rate would be about 100 mg/day. According to Lepow et al. (1975), the amount of
hand dirt measured with this technique is probably an underestimate because dirt trapped in skin
folds and creases was probably not removed by the adhesive label. Consequently, mean soil
ingestion rates may be somewhat higher than the values estimated in this study.
Duggan and Williams - Lead in Dust in City Streets - Duggan and Williams (1977)
assessed the risks associated with lead in street dust by analyzing street dust from areas in and
around London for lead, and estimating the amount of hand dirt that a child might ingest.
Duggan and Williams (1977) estimated the amount of dust that would be retained on the
forefinger and thumb by removing a small amount of dust from a weighed amount, rubbing the
forefinger and thumb together, and reweighing to determine the amount retained on the finger
and thumb. The results of "a number of tests with several different people" indicated that the
mean amount of dust retained on the finger and thumb was approximately 4 mg with a range of
2 to 7 mg (Duggan and Williams, 1977). Assuming that a child would suck his/her finger or
thumb 10 times a day and that all of the dirt is removed each time and replaced with new dirt
prior to subsequent mouthing behavior, Duggan and Williams (1977) estimated that 20 mg of
dust would be ingested per day.
Day et al. - Lead in Urban Street Dust - Day et al. (1975) evaluated the contribution of
incidental ingestion of lead-contaminated street dust and soil to children's total daily intake of
lead by measuring the amount of lead in street dust and soil and estimating the amount of dirt
ingested by children. The amount of soil that might be ingested was estimated by measuring the
amount of dirt that was transferred to a "sticky sweet" during 30 minutes of play and assuming
that a child might eat from 2 to 20 such sweets per day. Based on "a small number of direct
measurements", Day et al. (1975) found that 5 to 50 mg of dirt from a child's hands may be
transferred to a "sticky sweet" during 30 minutes of "normal playground activity. Assuming that
all of the dirt is ingested with the 2 to 20 "sticky sweets." Day et al. (1975) estimated that
intake of soil among children could range from 10 to 1000 mg/day.

HawJey et al. - Assessment of Health Risk from Exposure to Contaminated,
existing literature, Hawley (1985) developed scenarios for estimating exposure of young
children, older children, and adults to contaminated soil. Annual soil ingestion rates were
estimated based on assumed intake rates of soil and housedust for indoor and outdoor activities
and assumptions about the duration and frequency of the activities. These soil ingestion rates
were based on the assumption that the contaminated area is in a region having a winter season.
Housedust was assumed to be comprised of 80 percent soil.
Outdoor exposure to contaminated soil among young children (i.e., 2.5 years old) was
assumed to occur 5 days per week during only 6 months of the year (i.e., mid-April through
mid-October). Children were assumed to ingest 250 mg soil/day while playing outdoors based
on data presented in Lepow et al. (1974; 1975) and Roels et al. (1980). Indoor exposures
among this population were based on the assumption that young children ingest 100 mg of
housedust per day while spending all of their time indoors during the winter months, and 50 mg
of housedust per day during the wanner months when only a portion of their time is spent
indoors. Based on these assumptions, Hawley (1985) estimated that the annual average soil
intake rate for young children is 150 mg/day (Table 2-259). Older children (i.e., 6 year olds)
were assumed to ingest 50 mg of soil per day from an area equal to the area of the fingers on
one hand while playing outdoors. This assumption was based on data from Lepow et al. (1975).
Outdoor activities were assumed to occur each day over 5 months of the year (i.e., during May
through October). These children were also assumed to ingest 3 mg/day of housedust from the
indoor surfaces of the hands during indoor activities occurring over the entire year. Using these
data, Hawley (1985) estimated the annual average soil intake rate for older children to be 23.4
mg/day (Table 2-259).
2.8.4. Soil Intake Among Adults
Information on soil ingestion among adults is very limited. Hawley (1985) estimated soil
ingestion among adults based on assumptions regarding activity patterns and corresponding
ingestion amounts. Hawley (1985) assumed that adults ingest outdoor soil at a rate of 480
mg/day while engaged in yardwork or other physical activity. These outdoor exposures were
assumed to occur 2 days/week during 5 months of the year (i.e., May through October). The

ingestion estimate was based on the assumption that a SO /tin/thick layer of soil is Ingested from
the inside surfaces of the thumb and fingers of one hand. Ingestion of indoor housedust was
assumed to occur from typical living space activities such as eating and smoking, and work in
attics or other uncleaned areas of the house. Hawley (1985) assumed that adults ingest an
average of 0.56 mg housedust/day during typical living space activities and 110 mg
housedust/day while working in attics. Attic work was assumed to occur 12 days/year. Hawley
(1985) also assumed that soil comprises 80 percent of household dust. Based on these
assumptions about soil intake and the frequency of indoor and outdoor activities, Hawley (1985)
estimated the annual average soil intake rate for adults to be 60.5 mg/day (Table 2-260).
The soil intake value estimated by Hawley (1985) is consistent with adult soil intake rates
suggested by other researchers. Calabrese et al. (1987) suggested that soil intake among adults
ranges from 1 to 100 mg/day. According to Calabrese et al. (1987), these values "are
conjectural and based on fractional estimates" of earlier Center for Disease Control (CDC)
estimates. In a recently completed evaluation of the scientific literature concerning soil ingestion
rates for children and adults (Krablin, 1989), Arco Coal Company suggested that 10 mg/day may
be an appropriate value for adult soil ingestion. This value is based on "extrapolation from urine
arsenic epidemiological studies and information on mouthing behavior and time activity patterns"
(Krablin, 1989).
Calabrese et al. - Preliminary Adult Soil Ingestion Estimates: Results of a Pilot Study-
Calabrese et al. (1990) studied six adults to evaluate the extent to which they ingest soil. This
adult study was originally part of the children soil ingestion study conducted by Calabrese and
was used to validate part of the analytical methodology used in the children study. The
participants were six healthy adults, three males and three females, 25-41 years old. Each
volunteer ingested one empty gelatin capsule at breakfast and one at dinner Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday during the first week of the study. During the second week, they ingested 50
mg of sterilized soil within a gelatin capsule at breakfast and at dinner (a total of 100 mg of
sterilized soil per day) for 3 days. For the third week, the participants ingested 250 mg of
sterilized soil in a gelatin capsule at breakfast and at dinner (a total of 500 mg of soil per day)
during the three days. Duplicate meal samples (food and beverage) were collected from the six
adults. The sample included all foods ingested from breakfast Monday, through the evening

meal Wednesday during each of the 3 weeks. In addition, all medications and vitamins ingested
by the adults were collected. Total excretory output were collected from Monday noon through
Friday midnight over 3 consecutive weeks. Table 2-261 provides the mean and median values
of soil ingestion for each element by week. Data obtained from the first week, when empty
gelatin capsules were ingested, may be used to derive an estimate of soil intake by adults. The
mean intake rates for the eight tracers are; Al, 110 mg; Ba, -232 mg; Mh, 330 mg; Si, 30 mg;
Ti, 71 mg; V, 1,288 mg; Y, 63 mg; and Zr, 134 mg.
The advantage of this study is that it provides quantitative estimates of soil ingestion by
adults. The study also corrected for tracer concentrations in foods and medicines. However,
a limitation of this study is that a limited number of subjects were studied. In addition, the
subjects were only studied for one week before soil capsules were ingested.
2.8.5. Prevalence of Pica
The scientific literature define pica as "the repeated eating of nonnutritive substances"
(Feldman, 1986). For the purposes of this handbook, pica is defined as an deliberately high soil
ingestion rate. Numerous articles have been published that report on the incidence of pica
among various populations. However, most of these papers describe pica for substances other
than soil including sand, clay, paint, plaster, hair, string, cloth, glass, matches, paper, feces,
and various other items. These papers indicate that the pica occurs in approximately half of all
children between the ages of 1 and 3 years (Sayetta, 1986). The incidence of deliberate
ingestion behavior in children has been shown to differ for different subpopulations. The
incidence rate appears to be higher for black children than for white children. Approximately
30 percent of black children aged 1 to 6 years are reported to have deliberate ingestion behavior,
compared with 10 to 18 percent of white children in the same age group (Danford, 1982).
There does not appear to be any sex differences in the incidence rates for males or females
(Kaplan and Sadock, 1985), Lourie et al. (1963) states that the incidence of pica is higher
among children in lower socioeconomic groups (i.e., 50 to 60 percent) than in higher income
families (i.e., about 30 percent). Deliberate soil ingestion behavior appears to be more common
in rural areas (Vermeer and Frate, 1979). A higher rate of pica has also been reported for
pregnant women and individuals with poor nutritional status (Danford, 1982). In general,

deliberate ingestion behavior is more frequent and more severe in mentally retarded children
than in children in the general population (Behrman and Vaughan 1983, Danford 1982, Forfar
and Ameil 1984, Blingworth 1983, Sayetta 1986).
It should be noted that the pica statistics cited above apply to the incidence of general
pica and not soil pica. Information on the incidence of soil pica is limited, but it appears that
soil pica is less common. A study by Vermeer and Frate (1979) showed that the incidence of
geophagia (i.e., earth-eating) was about 16 percent among children from a rural black
community in Mississippi. However, geophagia was described as a cultural practice among the
community surveyed and may not be representative of the general population. Average daily
consumption of soil was estimated to be SO g/day. Bruhn and Pangborn (1971) reported the
incidence of pica for "dirt" to be 19 percent in children, 14 percent in pregnant women, and 3
percent in nonpregnant women. However, "dirt" was not clearly defined. The Bruhn and
Pangborn (1971) study was conducted among 91 non-black, low income families of migrant
agricultural workers in California. Based on the data from the five key tracer studies (Binder
et al., 1986; Clausing et al., 1987; Van Wljnen et al., 1990; Davis et al., 1990; and Calabrese
et al., 1989) only one child out of the more than 600 children involved in all of these studies
ingested an amount of soil significantly greater than the range for other children. Although these
studies did not include all populations and were representative of short-term ingestions only, it
can be assumed that the incidence rate of deliberate soil ingestion behavior in the general
population is low.
2.8.6. Deliberate Soil Ingestion Among Children
Information on the amount of soil ingested by children with abnormal soil ingestion
behavior is limited. However, some evidence suggests that a rate on the order of 5 to 10 g/day
may not be unreasonable. Calabrese et al. (1991) estimated that upper range soil ingestion
values may range from approximately 5-7 grams/day. This estimate was based on observations
of one pica child among the 64 children who participated in the study. In the study, a 3.5-year
old female exhibited extremely high soil ingestion behavior during one of the two weeks of
observation. Intake ranged from 74 mg/day to 2.2 g/day during the first week of observation
and 10.1 to 13.6 g/day during the second week of observation (Table 2-262). These results are

based on mass-balance analyses for seven (i.e., aluminum, barium, manganese, silicon, titanium,
vanadium, and ytrium) of the eight tracer elements used. Intake rates based on zirconium was
significantly lower but Calabrese et al. (1991) indicated that this may have "resulted from a
limitation in the analytical protocol."
In conducting a risk assessment for TCDD, U.S. EPA (1984b) used 5 g/day to represent
the soil intake rate for pica children. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also investigated
the potential for exposure to TCDD through the soil ingestion route. CDC used a value of 10
g/day to represent the amount of soil that a child with deliberate soil ingestion behavior might
ingest (Kimbrough et al., 1984). These values are consistent with those observed by
Calabrese et al. (1991).
2.8.7. Recommendations
The key studies described in this section were used to recommend values for soil intake
among children. -The key and relevant studies used different survey designs and study
populations. These studies are summarized in Table 2-263. For example, in some of the studies
food and nonfood sources of trace elements were considered, while other did not. In other
studies, soil ingestion estimates were adjusted to account for the contribution of house dust to
this estimate. Despite these differences, the mean and upper-percentile estimates reported for
these studies are relatively consistent.
It is important, however, to understand the various uncertainties associated with these
values. First, individuals were not studied for sufficient periods of time to get a good estimate
of the usual intake. Therefore, the values presented in this section may not necessarily be
representative of long term exposures. Second, the experimental error in measuring soil
ingestion values for individual children is another source of uncertainty. For example,
incomplete sample collection of both input (i.e., food and nonfood sources) and output (i.e.,
urine and feces) is a limitation for some of the studies conducted. In addition, an individual's
soil ingestion value may be artificially high or low depending on the extent to which a mismatch
between input and output occurs due to individual variation in the gastrointestinal transit time.
Third, the degree to which the tracer elements used in these studies are absorbed in the human
body is uncertain. Accuracy of the soil ingestion estimates depends on how good this

the accuracy of parent's knowledge about their child's playing areas. Fifth, all the soil ingestion
studies presented in this section with the exception of Calabrese et al. (1989) were conducted
during the summer when soil contact is more likely.
Although the recommendations presented below are derived from studies which were
mostly conducted in the summer, exposure during the winter months when the ground is frozen
or snow covered should not be considered as zero. Exposure during these months, although may
be lower than the summer months, would not be zero since some portion of the house dust
comes from outdoor soil.

element in the diet which for titanium seems to be significant. Therefore, these values may
overestimate the soil intake. One can note that this group of mean values is consistent with the
200 mg/day value that EPA programs have used as a conservative mean estimate. Taking into
consideration that the highest values were seen with titanium, which may exhibit greater
variability man the other tracers, and the fact that the Calabrese study included a pica child, 100
mg/day appears to represent a central estimate of the mean for children under 6 years of age.
However, since the children were studied for short periods of time and the prevalence of pica
behavior is not known, excluding the pica child from the calculations may underestimate soil
intake rates. It is plausible that many children may exhibit some pica behavior if studied for
longer periods of time. Over the period of study, upper percentile values ranged from 106
mg/day to 1,432 mg/day with an average of 545 mg/day for soil ingestion and 587 mg/day for
soil and dust ingestion. However, since the period of study was short, these values are not
estimates of usual intake.
Data on soil ingestion rates for children who deliberately ingest soil are also limited.
However, an ingestion rate of 10 - 14 g/day may not be an unreasonable assumption for use in
acute exposure assessments, based on the available information. It should be noted, however,
that this value is based on only one pica child observed in the Calabrese et al. (1989) study.

outdoor activities. However, this value should be used in conjunction with a short-term
exposure frequency and duration since this value represents soil ingestion per event and not an
annual average.

METHOD OF CALCULATION USED BY JAVTTZ, 1980s WEIGHTED MEANS
AND PERCENTILES
The weighted mean of N respondents from the survey having weights W|»
W2, ..... Wn and monthly fish consumption Clf (2%, ...,Cn is computed as follows:
N N
Mean consumption = £ W} Cj / £ Ws
i-i i-i
The weight W| is the number of fish consumers represented by the ith survey respondent.
The sum of all the weights represents the average number of U.S. fish consumers during the
survey year.
The 95th percentile of fish consumption was also computed on a weighted basis; no
assumptions about the data distribution were made. Using the same parameters described
above, the intake rates of individuals in a subset can be ordered so that Cj < Cj < ... <
Cn. The 95th percentile of fish consumption for N respondents is defined as the consumption
of the jth individual such that:
j-i N

The sum of the weights of the individuals in the subset with consumption less than the jth

APPENDIX 2D
NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE
RECREATIONAL FISHING DATA
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) estimated recreational marine catch
from intercept surveys of fishermen in the field and an independent telephone survey of
households. In 1985, the marine recreational finfish catch in the United States, excluding
fish caught in Alaska and Hawaii and Pacific Coast salmon, was an estimated 425 million
fish weighing 717.3 million pounds (NMFS 1986a). The estimated number of marine
recreational fishermen, which has been relatively stable over the last few years, is 17
million. The size of the population that consumes the national recreational marine catch has
not been measured.
Recreational marine fish catch data from the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts for 1985 is
presented by species and region In Table 2D-1 (NMFS 1980}). Catch quantities include
catch brought ashore in whole form and available for identification during the interview; fish
not available for identification and those released alive, discarded dead, filleted, or used for
bait are excluded. Weights (including inedible portions) and lengths of the identified fish
were measured. Of the approximately 114 million kilograms of fish caught on the Atlantic
and Gulf Coasts, the smallest portion of the total catch was made in the North Atlantic.
Over one half of the recreational marine catch occurred within 3 miles of the shore or in
inland waterways. The data in Table 2D-2 demonstrate the effect of season and local climate
on the size of recreational catch. Total catch weight for the Atlantic declines significantly
from November throughout February, but the Gulf Coast catch rate remains fairly stable
throughout the year. Estimated total numbers of sport fishermen by state and subregion are
given in Table 2D-3. These totals may include fishermen who participate but take no fish
home for consumption.
Similar data for the Pacific Coast are presented in Tables 2D-4 through 2D-6 (NMFS
1986c). Table 2D-4 shows that over 80 percent of the 12.7 million kg total Pacific Coast
recreational catch (excluding Hawaii and Alaska) occurs along the California coast. As in he
2D-1

Atlantic, the majority of the recreational marine catch is taken within 3 miles of the shore or
from inland waterways. Table 2D-5 shows seasonal fluctuations in the recreational catch;
May through October are the peak recreational fishing months for the Pacific Coast. The
estimated total number of participants is given according to regions in *?-'u 2D-6.

3. INHALATION ROUTE
Humans may be exposed to toxic chemicals by the inhalation route from various
sources. Airborne chemicals may be inhaled in gaseous form as vapors, or as particulates.
This chapter discusses factors associated with exposure via inhalation.
3.1. EXPOSURE EQUATION FORINHALATION
The general equation for calculating average daily dose (ADD) for inhalation
exposure is:
ADD = [[C x IR x ED] / pw x AT]] (Eqn, 3-1)
where:
ADD = average daily dose (mg/kg-day);
C = contaminant concentration in air (j*g/m3);
IR = inhalation rate (m3/day);
ED = exposure duration (days);
BW = body weight (kg); and
AT = averaging time (days), for non-carcinogenic effects AT = ED, for
carcinogenic effects AT = 70 years or 25,550 days.
The average daily dose is the dose rate averaged over a pathway-specific period of
exposure expressed as a daily dose on a per-unit-body-weight basis. The ADD is used for
exposure to chemicals with non-carcinogenic non-chronic effects. For compounds with
carcinogenic or chronic effects, the lifetime average daily dose (LADD) is used. The LADD
is the dose rate averaged over a lifetime. The contaminant concentration refers to the
concentration of the contaminant in inhaled air. Exposure duration refers to the time an
individual is exposed at a particular location. The inhalation rate (expressed as cubic meters
per hour) varies according to the exertion level and other factors.
3.2. INHALATION RATE
3.2.1. Background
The health risk associated with human exposure to airborne toxics is a function of
concentration of air pollutants, duration of exposure, and inhalation rate (m3/hr). Because
the estimation for exposure or inhaled dose for a given air pollutant is dependent on
3-1
-------
inhalation rates, several published studies that provide information on inhalation rates are
presented in this section. An extensive review of literature indicates that inhalation rate
commonly termed as ventilation rate (VR) or breathing rate is usually measured as minute
volume, i.e. volume (liters) of air exhaled per minute^B). The volume of air exhaled (V^
is the product of the number of respiratory cycles in a minute and the volume of air respired
during each respiratory cycle (tidal volume, VT). Oxygen consumption, hence breathing
rates are affected by numerous individual characteristics which include: age, gender, weight,
health status, and levels of various activity patterns (running, walking, jogging etc.) (Layton,
1993). Ventilation rates (VR) are either measured directly using a spirometer and a
collection system or indirectly from heart rate (HR) measurements. HR measurements
obtained from Heart watches are usually correlated with VR in simple and multiple
regression analysis.
In the Ozone Criteria Document prepared by the U.S. EPA's Environmental Criteria
and Assessment Office, the EPA identified the collapsed range of activities and its
corresponding VR as follows: light exercise (VE < 23 L/min or 1.4 m3/hr);
moderate/medium exercise (VE= 24-43 L/min or 1.4-2.6m3/hr); heavy exercise (VE= 2.6-
3.8 m3/hr); and very heavy exercise (VE> 64 L/min or 3.8 m3/hr), (CARB, 1993). Also, in
the Ambient Water Quality Criteria documents (U.S. EPA, 1980) an average daily inhalation
rate for a reference man was reported to be 20 nrVday. This value is widely used for
exposure assessment studies.
The available studies on inhalation rates are summarized in the following sections.
Inhalation rates are reported for outdoor workers/athletes, adults and children including
infants performing various activities. The activity levels are categorized as resting,
sedentary, light, moderate, and heavy. In most studies, the sample population kept diaries to
record their physical activities, locations, and breathing rates. Ventilation rates were either
measured, self-estimated or predicted from equations derived using VR-HR calibration
relationships. These studies have been classified as key studies or other relevant studies
based on the applicability of the data to exposure assessments. The recommended inhalation
rate values are based on the results from key studies. Section 3.2.4 presents inhalation rate
values recommended for use in exposure assessments for adults, children, and outdoor

workers/athletes. For each study, inhalation rates that were reported as minute volume in
liters per minute have been converted to m3/hr.
3.2.2. Key Inhalation Rate Studies
Lay ton - Metabolicalty Consistent Breathing Rates for use in Dose Assessments -
Layton (1993), presented a new method for estimating metabolically consistent inhalation
rates for use in quantitative dose assessments of airborne radionuclides. Historically, the
approach for estimating breathing rate of a specified time frame was to calculate a time-
weighted-average of ventilation rates associated with physical activities of varying durations
•s
(Layton, 1993). However, in this study, breathing rates were calculated based on oxygen
consumption associated with energy expenditures for short (hours) and long (weeks and
months) periods of time. Layton (1993) used the following general equation in calculating
energy-dependent inhalation rates:
VE = E x H x VQ (Eqn. 3-2)
where:
VE = ventilation rate (L/min or m3/hr);
E = energy expenditure rate (KJ/min or MJ/hr);
H = volume of oxygen (at standard temperature and pressure, dry air)
(STPD) consumed in the production of 1 KJ of energy expended (L/KJ
or m3/MJ); and
VQ = ventilatory equivalent (ratio of minute volume (L/min) to oxygen uptake
(L/min)) unitless.
Three alternative approaches were used in estimating daily chronic (long term)
inhalation rates for different age/gender cohorts of the U.S. population. In the first
approach, inhalation rates were estimated by multiplying average daily food energy intakes
for different age/gender cohorts, volume of oxygen (H), and ventilatory equivalent (VQ) as
shown in the equation above. The average food energy intake data (Table 3-1) were obtained
from the USDA 1977-78 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (USDA-NFCS). In the
USDA survey 14,035 households were randomly selected and food intake data were obtained
from 30,770 individuals. The food energy intakes were adjusted upwards by a constant
factor of 1.2 for all individuals 9 years and older (Layton, 1993). This factor compensated

for reported food bias in USDA-NFCS (Layton, 1993). The weighted average oxygen
uptake of O.OS L O2/KJ used in this study was calculated from data reported in the 1977-78
USDA-NFCS and the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES n). The ventilatory equivalent (VQ) of 27 used was calculated as the geometric
mean of VQ data that were obtained from several studies (Layton, 1993).
Table 3-2 presents the daily inhalation rate for each age/gender cohorts. The highest
daily inhalation rates (10 m3/day) were reported for children between the ages of 6-8 years,
for males between 15-18 years (17 m3/day), and females between 9-11 years (13 m3/day).
Estimated average lifetime inhalation rates for males and females 14 m3/day and 10 m3/day,
respectively (Table 3-2). Inhalation rates were also calculated for active and inactive periods
for the various age/gender cohorts.
The inhalation rate for inactive periods was estimated by multiplying the basal
metabolic rate (BMR) times the oxygen uptake times the ventilatory equivalent (H) (VQ).
BMR was defined as "the minimum amount of energy required to support basic cellular
respiration while at rest and not actively digesting food" (Layton, 1993). The inhalation rate
for active periods was calculated by multiplying the inactive inhalation rate by the ratio of
the rate of energy expenditure during active hours to the estimated BMR. This ratio is
presented as F in Table 3-2 (Layton, 1993). These data for active and inactive inhalation
rates are also presented in Table 3-2. For children, inactive and active inhalation rates
ranged between 2-6 and 6-13 m3/day, respectively. For adult males (19-64 years old), the
average inactive and active inhalation rates were 10 and 19 m3/day, respectively. Also, the
average inactive and active inhalation rates for adult females (19-64 years old) were 8 and 12
m3/day, respectively.
In the second approach, inhalation rates were calculated by multiplying the BMR of
the population cohorts, A, which is the ratio of total daily energy expenditure to daily BMR,
H, and VQ. The BMR data obtained from literature had been statistically analyzed and
regression equations were developed to predict BMR from body weights of various
age/gender cohorts (Layton, 1993). The statistical data used to develop the regression
equations are presented in Appendix Table 3A-1. The data obtained from the second
approach are presented in Table 3-3. Inhalation rates for children (6 months - 10 years)

ranged from 7.3-9.3 m3/day and ages 10-18 was 15 m3/day, while adult femates-fli years
and older) ranged from 9.9-11 m3/day and adult males (18 years and older) ranged from
13-17 m3/day. These rates are similar to the daily inhalation rates obtained using the first
approach. Also, the inactive inhalation rates obtained from the first approach are lower than
the inhalation rates obtained using the second approach. This may be attributed to the BMR
multiplier employed in the second approach equation to calculate inhalation rates.
In the third approach, inhalation rates were calculated by multiplying estimated energy
expenditures associated with different levels of physical activity engaged in over the course
of an average day by VQ and H for each age/gender cohort. The energy expenditure
associated with each level of activity was estimated by multiplying BMRs of each activity
level by the metabolic equivalent (MET) and by the time spent per day performing each
activity for each age/gender population. The data used in this approach were obtained from
a time-activity survey. The survey sampled 2126 individuals (1,120 women and 1,006 men)
ages 20-74 that were selected randomly from California communities. Table 3-4 presents the
inhalation rates (VE) in m3/day and m3/hr obtained for adult males and females aged 20-74
years at five physical activity levels. The total daily inhalation rates ranged from 13-17
m3/day for adult males and 11-15 m3/day for adult females. The rates for adult females were
higher when compared with the other two approaches. In all three approaches, the range of
inhalation rates for adults were 9.6-17 m3/day, 9.9-17 m3/day, and 13-17 m3/day,
respectively. Inhalation rates were also calculated for short-term exposures for various
age/gender cohorts and five energy-expenditure categories (rest, sedentary, light, moderate,
and heavy). BMRs were multiplied by the product of MET, H, and VQ. The data obtained
for short term exposures are presented in Table 3-5.
A limitation of the third approach employed is that the survey provided information
on physical activities which were based on recall. Another limitation in utilizing dietary
surveys to estimate inhalation rates is that the diet of the population surveyed is only
reflected for a particular period of time (1977-78). An advantage of this study is that the
survey sample size was large and represents the general U.S. population. Another advantage
of this study is that inhalation rates for different age cohorts were also presented. Also, the
methodology used in estimating inhalation rates characterized the dependent relationship

Linn et al, - Documentation of Activity Patterns in 'High-Risk' Groups Exposed to
Ozone in the Los Angeles Area - Linn et al. (1992) conducted a study that estimated the
inhalation rates for "high-risk" subpopulation groups exposed to ozone (O3) in their daily
activities in the Los Angeles area. The population surveyed consisted of seven subject
panels: Panel 1: 20 healthy outdoor workers (15 males, 5 females, ages 19-50); Panel 2; 17
healthy elementary school students (5 males, 12 females, ages 10-12); Panel 3: 19 healthy
high school students (7 males, 12 females, ages 13-17); Panel 4; 49 asthmatic adults
(clinically mild, moderate, and severe, 15 males, 34 females, ages 18-50); Panel 5: 24
asthmatic adults from 2 neighborhoods of contrasting Qj air quality (10 males, 14 females,
ages 19-46); Panel 6: 13 young asthmatics (7 males, 6 females, ages 11-16); Panel 7:
construction workers (7 males, ages 26-34).
Initially, a calibration test was conducted and was followed by a training session.
Finally, a field study was conducted which involved subjects' collecting their own heart rate
(HR) and diary data. The calibration exercise protocols varied for each panel subject:
Panel 1 had laboratory treadmill exercise tests, indoor hall-way walking tests at different
self-chosen speeds, and 2 outdoor tests each consisted of 1 hour cycles of rest, walking, and
jogging; Panel 2 and 3 performed outdoor exercises that consisted each of 20 minute rest,
slow walking, jogging, and last walking; Panel 4 and S had treadmill and hallway tests;
Panel 6 had laboratory tests on bicycles and treadmills; Panel 7 performed similar exercises
as Panel 2 and 3, and also performed job-related tests including lifting and carrying a 9-kg
pipe (Linn et al., 1992). During the calibration tests, ventilation rates (VR) and HR were
measured simultaneously at each exercise level. A regression line was fed to the calibration
data, HR and lognormal VR, and an equation was developed to predict VR from measured
HR.
In the field study, each subject (except construction workers) recorded in diaries their
daily activities, change in locations (indoors, outdoors, or in a vehicle), self-estimated their
breathing rates during each activity/location, time spent at each activity/location. Healthy

subjects recorded their HR once every 60 seconds and asthmatic subjects recordedlheir diary
information once every hour with a Heart watch. Construction workers dictated their diary
information to a technician accompanying them on the job. Subjective breathing rates were
defined as slow (walking at their normal pace); medium (faster than normal walking); and
fast (running or similarly strenuous exercise). Table 3-6 presents the protocols for self-
monitoring of diary information for each subject panel.
Table 3-7 presents the mean VR, the 99th percentile VR, and the VR at each
subjective activity level (slow, medium, fast). The mean and 99th percentile VRs were
derived from the valid HR recordings excluding diary data. Each of the three activity levels
were determined from diary data and HR recordings (Linn et al., 1992). The preliminary
data for construction workers indicated that during a 10-hr work shift, their mean VR (1.5
m3/hr) exceeded the VRs of other subject panels (Table 3-7). Linn et al. (1992) reported
that the diary data showed that most individuals expect construction workers spent most of
their time (in a typical day) indoors at slow activity level. During outdoor activities, VRs
were lower for asthmatics than for healthy subjects. During slow activity level, asthmatic
subjects had higher VRs than healthy subjects (Linn et al., 1992). Also Linn et al. (1992),
reported that in every panel, the predicted VR correlated significantly with the subjective
estimates of activity levels.
According to Linn et al. (1992), "Calibration results may overestimate the predictive
power of HR during actual field monitoring, because the wider variety of exercise in
everyday activities may result in wider variation of the VR-HR relationship." Another
limitation of this study is the small sample size of each subpopulation surveyed, therefore,
this may not be representative the U.S. population. Also, in the course of this study,
information on activity patterns were obtained, but the information was not presented. This
information could be useful for exposure assessments. An advantage of these data set is that
activities were recorded in a diary and not generated based on recall. Another advantage is
that inhalation rates were presented for various subpopulations (i.e., healthy outdoor
workers, asthmatics, healthy adults, and healthy children).

Linn et al. - Activity patterns in Ozone Exposed Construction WorJsers - Linn et al.
(1993) estimated the inhalation rates of 19 construction workers before and during a typical
work shift. The workers were employed at a hospital construction site in suburban Los
Angeles. The study was conducted between mid-July and early November, 1991. During
this period, ozone (Qj) levels were typically high in Glendale, Los Angeles. Initially, each
subject was calibrated with a 25-minutes exercise test that included slow walking, fast
walking, jogging, lifting, and carrying. All calibration tests were conducted in the mornings.
Ventilation rates (VR) and heart rates (HR) were measured simultaneously during the test.
The data were analyzed using the least squares regression to derive an equation for predicting
VR at a given HR. Following the calibration tests and before beginning work, each subject
recorded their change in activity (i.e. sitting/standing, walking, lifting/carrying, and
"working at trade" - defined as tasks specific to the individual's job classification).
Location, and self-estimated breathing rates ("slow" similar to slow walking, "medium"
similar to fast walking, and "fast" similar to running) were also recorded in the diary.
During work, an investigator recorded the diary information dictated by the subjects. HR
was recorded minute by minute for each subject before work and during the entire work
shift. Thus, VR ranges for each breathing rate and activity category were estimated from
the HR recordings by employing the relationship between VR and HR obtained from the
calibration tests.
A total of 182 hours of HR recordings were obtained during the survey from the 19
volunteers; 144 hours reflected actual working time according to diary records. The lowest
actual working hours recorded was 6.6 hours and the highest recorded was 11.6 hours for a
complete work shift (Linn et al., 1993). Summary statistics for HR and predicted VR
distributions for each individual, the complete group of all individuals, and job or site
defined groups are presented in Table 3-8. The data reflects all recordings before and during
work, and at break times. For all subjects the mean HR was 93 beats/minute and the mean
inhalation rate (IR) was 1.68 nrVhr as shown in Table 3-8. In Table 3-8 for most subjects,
the 1st and 99th percentiles of HR were outside of the calibration range (calibration ranges
are presented in Appendix Table 3A-2). Therefore, corresponding IR percentiles were
extrapolated using the calibration data (Table 3-8).

The data presented in Table 3-9 represents distribution patterns ofIR "for "each subject,
total subjects, and job or site defined subgroups by self-estimated breathing rates (slow,
medium, fast) or by type of job activity. All data include working and non-working hours.
The mean inhalation rates for most individuals showed statistically significant increases with
higher self-estimated breathing rates or with increasingly strenuous job activity (Linn et al.,
1993). Inhalation rates were higher in hospital site workers compared with office site
workers (Table 3-9). However, hospital site workers reported a higher percentage of slow
breathing time (31 percent) than the office site workers (20 percent), and a lower percentage
of fast breathing time, 3 percent and 5 percent, respectively (Linn et al., 1993). Based on
the subjects HR measurements and IR predictions, individuals whose work was objectively
heavier than average tended to describe their work as lighter than average. Linn et al.
(1993) attributed this observation to either a better physical conditioning in hardworking
individuals and/or a "macho effect" (reluctance to admit the degree of exercise stress they
felt).
A limitation associated with this study is the small sample size which may not be
representative of construction worker subpopulation. Another limitation of this study is that
calibration data were not obtained at extreme conditions (i.e., heat stress). Therefore, it was
necessary to predict IR values outside the calibration range which may introduce an unknown
uncertainty to the data set. Also, subjective self-estimated breathing rates may be another
source of uncertainty in the inhalation rates estimated. An advantage of these data set is that
activities were recorded in a diary and not generated based on recall. Another advantage is
that this survey provides some values for a subpopulation of highly active individuals.
Spier et al. - Activity Patterns in Elementary and High School Students Exposed To
Oxldant Pollution - Spier et al. (1992) investigated activity patterns of 17 elementary school
students (10-12 years old) from the Seventh Day Adventist school and 19 high school
students (13-17 years old) in suburban Los Angeles from late September to October (oxidant
pollution season). Calibration tests were conducted in supervised outdoor exercise sessions.
The exercise sessions consisted of 5 minutes for each: rest, slow walking, jogging, and fast
walking. Heart rate (HR) and ventilation rate (VR) were measured during the last 2 minutes
of each exercise. Individual VR and HR relationships were determined by fitting a

regression line to HR values and lognormal VR values. Each subject recordecTtheir daily
activities change in location, and breathing rates in diaries for 3 consecutive days. Self-
estimated breathing rates were recorded as slow (slow walking), medium (walking faster than
normal), and fast (running). HR was recorded during the 3 days once per minute by wearing
a Heart watch. VR values for each self-estimated breathing rate and activity type were
estimated from the HR recordings by employing the VR and HR equation obtained from the
calibration tests.
The data presented in Table 3-10 represents HR distribution patterns and
corresponding predicted VR for each age group during hours spent awake. At the same self-
reported activity levels for both age groups, inhalation rates were higher for outdoor
activities than indoor activities. The total hours spent indoors by high school students
(21.2 hours) were higher than for elementary school students (19.6 hours). The converse
was true for outdoor activities; 2.7 hours for high school students, and 4.4 hours for
elementary school students (Table 3-11). Based on the data presented in Tables 3-10
and 3-11, the average inhalation specific-activity rate for elementary (10-12 years) and high
school (13-17 years) students were calculated. For elementary school students the average
daily inhalation rates are 15.8 m3/day for light activities, 4.62 m3/day for moderate activities,
and 0.98 m3/day for heavy activities. Also, for high school students the daily inhalation rate
during light, moderate, and heavy activities are estimated at 16.4 m3/day, 3.1 m3/day, and
0.54 m3/day, respectively (Table 3-12).
A limitation of this study is the small sample size. It may not be representative of all
children in these age groups. Another limitation is that associated with the accuracy of the
self-estimated breathing rates reported by younger age groups. This may affect the validity
of the data set generated. An advantage of this study is that data was generated from diary
recordings and not based on recall. This approach appears to give more accurate estimates.
California Air Resources Board (CARB) - Measurement of Breathing Rate and Volume
in Routinely Performed Daily Activities - The California Air Resources Board, CARB
(1993), conducted research to accomplish two main objectives: (1) identification of mean and
ranges of inhalation rates for various age/gender cohorts; and (2) derivation of simple linear
and multiple regression equations used to predict inhalation rates through other measured

survey population consisted of 160 individuals (both genders) from California of various ages
(6-77 years) and ethnicity (CARB, 1993). Further research was also conducted to validate
empirically derived equations for children engaged in selected field and laboratory studies.
The test subjects were 40 children from 6 to 12 years old. Twelve children (3-5 years) were
subjects for pilot testing (CARB, 1993).
Resting protocols conducted in the laboratory consisted of phases (25 minutes each) of
lying, sitting, and standing. They were categorized as resting and sedentary activities. Two
active protocols including moderate (walking) and heavy (jogging/running) phases were
performed on a treadmill over a progressive continuum of intensities made up of 6 minute
intervals, at 3 speeds ranging from slow to moderately fast. All protocols involved
measuring VR, HR, fB, and V02. Measurements were taken in the last 5 minutes of each
phase of the resting protocol (25 minutes), and the last 3 minutes of the 6 minutes intervals,
at each speed designated in the active protocols.
In the field, aU children completed spontaneous play protocols, while the older
adolescent population (16-18 years) completed car driving and riding, car maintenance
(males), and housework (females) protocols. All adults (19-60 years) and most or the senior
(60-77 years) females completed housework, yardwork, and car driving and riding protocols.
Adult and senior males only completed car driving and riding, yardwork, and mowing
protocols. HR, VR, and fB were measured during each protocol and most protocols were
conducted for 30 mins. All the active field protocols were conducted twice.
During all activities in either the laboratory or field protocols, inhalation rate (IR) for
the children's group revealed no significant gender differences and those for the adult groups
demonstrated gender differences. Therefore, IR data presented in Appendix Tables 3A-3 and
3A-4 were categorized as young children, children, adult female, and adult male by activity
levels (resting, sedentary, light, moderate, and heavy). These categorized data for the
laboratory protocols are shown in Table 3-13. Table 3-14 presents the mean inhalation rates
by group and activity levels (light, sedentary, and moderate) in field protocols. A
comparison of the data shown in Tables 3-13 and 3-14 suggest that during light and sedentary
activities in laboratory and field protocols similar inhalation rates were obtained for adult

walking, jogging, and fast walking. The subjects' ventilation level and VR
however, no feedback was given to the subjects. Electrocardiograms were recorded via
direct connection or telemetry and HR was measured concurrently with ventilation
measurement for all treadmill sessions.
The second approach consisted of two protocol phases (indoor/outdoor exercise
sessions and field testing). 20 outdoor adult workers between 19-50 years old were
employed. Indoor and outdoor supervised exercises similar to the protocols in the first
approach were conducted, however there were no feedbacks. Also, in this approach
electrocardiograms were recorded and HR was measured concurrently with VR. During the
field testing phase, subjects were trained to record their activities during three different 24-
hour periods within one week. These periods included their most active working and non-
working days. HR was measured quasi-continuously during the 24-hour periods activities
were recorded. The subjects recorded in a diary all changes in physical activity, location,
exercise levels during waking hours. Self-estimated activities in supervised exercises and
field studies were categorized as slow (resting, slow walking or equivalent), medium (fast
walking or equivalent), and fast (jogging or equivalent).
Inhalation rates were not reported in the data presented by Shamoo et al. (1990).
Shamoo et al. (1990) reported that the first approach employed indicated that about 68% of
the sample population estimated their VR correctly. They also observed that inaccurate self-
estimates occurred in the younger male population who were highly physically fit and were
competitive aerobic trainers. This subset of sample population tended to underestimate their
own physical activity levels at higher VR ranges. Shamoo et al. (1990) attributed this to a
"macho effect." In the second approach, a regression analysis was conducted that related the
logarithm of VR to HR. The logarithm of VR correlated better with HR than VR itself
(Shamoo et al., 1990). Also, the effect of heat stress was observed on the HR data obtained
during the second hour of the exercise sessions.
A limitation associated with this study is that the population sampled does not give a
representation of the general U.S. population. Also, ventilation rates were not presented.
Training individuals to estimate their VR may contribute to uncertainty in the results because
the estimates are subjective. Another limitation is that heat stress was not accounted for in

the equation used to predict VR from HR measurements. This may somewhat affect the
accuracy of the estimated VR. An advantage of this study is that data sets were generated
from diary recordings of activities during the sampling period and were not based on recall.
The former approach appears to give more accurate responses.
Shamoo et al. - Activity Patterns in a Panel of Outdoor Workers Exposed to Oxidant
Pollution - Shamoo et al. (1991) investigated summer activity patterns in 20 adult volunteers
(IS men and 5 women) outdoor workers in the Los Angeles area. They were exposed to
oxidant pollution. The age of the subjects ranged from 19-50 years old. All volunteers
worked outdoors at least 10 hours per week. The experimental approach involved two
stages: (1) indirect objective estimation of ventilation rate (VR) from heart rate (HR)
measurements; and (2) self estimation of inhalation/ventilation rates recorded by subjects in
diaries during their normal activities (Shamoo et al., 1991). The approach consisted of
calibrating the relationship between VR and HR for each test subject in controlled exercise;
monitoring by subjects of their own normal activities with diaries and electronic HR
recorders; and then relating VR with the activities described in the diaries (Shamoo et al.,
1991).
Calibration tests were conducted for indoor and outdoor supervised exercises to
determine individual relationships between VR and HR. Indoors, each subject was tested on
a treadmill at rest and at increasing speeds. HR and VR were measured at the third minute
at each 3-minute interval speed. In addition, subjects were tested while walking a 90-meter
course in a corridor at 3 self-selected speeds (normal, slower than normal, and faster than
normal) for 3 mins.
Two outdoor testing sessions (one hour each) were conducted for each subject, 7 days
apart. Subjects exercised on a 260-m asphalt course. The session involved 15 minutes each
of: rest, slow walking, jogging, and fast walking during the first hour. The sequence was
also repeated during the second hour. HR and VR measurements were recorded starting at
the 8th minute of each 15-minute segment. Following the calibration tests, a field study was
conducted in which subject's self-monitored their activities (by filling out activity diary
booklets), self-estimated their breathing rates, and HR. Breathing rates were defined as
sleep, slow (slow or normal walking), medium (fast walking), and fast (running) (Shamoo et

al., 1991). Changes in location, activity, or breathing rates during three 2'4-lir periods within
a week were recorded. These periods included their most active working and non-working
days. Bach subject wore Heart watches which recorded their HR once per minute during the
field study. Ventilation rates were estimated for the following categories: sleep, slow,
medium, and fast.
A regression line was fed to the calibration data, HR and lognormal VR, in order to
develop an equation to predict VR from measured HR. The average measured VR were
0.48, 0.9, 1.68, and 4.02 m3/hr for rest, slow walking or normal walking, fast walking and
jogging, respectively (Shamoo et al., 1991). Collectively, the diary recordings showed that
sleep occupied about 33 percent of the subject's time, slow activity 59 percent, medium 7
percent, and fast 1 percent. The diary data covered an average of 69 hrs per subject
(Shamoo et al., 1991). Table 3-15 presents the distribution pattern of predicted ventilation
rates and equivalent ventilation rates (EVR) obtained at the four activity levels. EVR was
defined as the VR per square meter of body surface area, and also as a percentage of the
subjects average VR over the entire field monitoring period (Shamoo et al., 1991). The
overall mean predicted VR were 0.42 m3/hr for sleep; 0.71 m3/hr for slow activity; 0.84
m3/hr for medium activity; and 2.63 m3/hr for fast activity. The mean predicted VR and
standard deviation, and the percentage of time spent in each combination of VR, activity type
(essential and non-essential), and location (indoor and outdoor) are presented in Table 3-16.
Essential activities include income-related work, household chores, child care, study and
other school activities, personal care and destination-oriented travel. Non-essential activities
include sports and active leisure, passive leisure, some travel, and social or civic activities
(Shamoo et al., 1991).
The author noted that the methodology employed in this study and the previous study
by Shamoo et al. (1990) are similar. Consequently, the same advantages and disadvantages
associated with the Shamoo et al. (1990) data set also apply to this data set. According to
Shamoo et al. (1990), "These results confirm that subjective activity diary data can provide
exposure modelers with useful rough estimates of VR for groups of generally healthy people.
As a group, the subjects showed meaningful and highly statistically significant increases in
measured HR and predicted VR across the range of diary-recorded activity levels (sleep-

Shamoo et al. - Effectiveness of Training Subjects to Estimate Their Level of
Ventilation - Shamoo et al. (1992) conducted a study where nine non-sedentary subjects in
good health were trained on a treadmill to estimate their own ventilation rates at four activity
levels: low, medium, heavy, and very heavy. The purpose of the study was to train the
subjects self-estimation of ventilation in the field and assess the effectiveness of the training
(Shamoo et al., 1992). The subjects included 3 females and 6 males between 21 to 37 years
of age. The tests were conducted in four stages. First, an initial treadmill pretest was
conducted indoors at various speeds until the four ventilation levels were experienced by each
subject, VR was measured and feedback was given to the subjects. Second, two treadmill
training sessions which involved seven 3-min segments of varying speeds based on initial test
were conducted, VR was measured and feedback was given to the subjects. Another similar
session was conducted, however, the subjects estimated their own ventilation level during the
last 20 seconds of each segment and VR was measured during the last minute of each
segment. Immediate feedback was given to the subject's estimate; and the third and fourth
stages involved 2 outdoor sessions of 3 hours each. Each hour comprised IS minutes each of
rest, slow walking, jogging, and fast walking. The subjects estimated their own ventilation
level at the middle of each segment. The subject's estimate was verified by a respirometer
which measured VR in the middle of each 15-mimite activity. No feedback was given to the
subject.
For purposes of this study, inhalation rates were analyzed from the raw data provided
by Shamoo et al. (1992). These data are presented in Appendix Table 3A-5. Table 3-17
presents the actual inhalation rates obtained at four ventilation levels and two
microenvironments (i.e., indoors and outdoors). The mean inhalation rates for all subjeccts
were 0.93, 1.92, 3.01, 4.80 for low, medium, heavy, and very heavy activities.
The population sample size used in this study was small and may somewhat affect the
distribution of the data set obtained. Another limitation is that the population selected does
not represent the general U.S. population. The training approach employed may not be cost

17.5. EPA - Development of Statistical Distributions or Ranges of Standard Factors
Used in Exposure Assessments - Due to a paucity of information in literature regarding
equations used to develop statistical distributions of minute ventilation/ventilation rate at all
activity levels for male and female children and adults, the U.S. EPA (1985) compiled
measured values of minute ventilation for various age/gender cohorts from early studies. In
more recent investigations, minute ventilations have been measured more as background
information than as research objective itself and the available studies have been for specific
subpopulations such as obese, asthmatics or marathon runners. The data compiled by the
U.S. EPA (1985) for each age/gender cohorts were obtained at various activity levels. These
levels were categorized as light, moderate, or heavy according to the criteria developed by
the Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office of EPA for the Ozone Criteria Document.
These criteria were developed for a reference male adult with a body weight of 70 kg (U.S.
EPA, 1985). The minute ventilation rates for adult males based on these activity level
categories are detailed in Appendix Table 3A-5., Table 3-18 presents a summary of
inhalation rates by age, gender, and activity level found in Appendix Table 3A-6 . A
description of activities included in each activity level is also presented in Table 3-18. Based
on data in Appendix Table 3A-7, at rest, the average adult inhalation rate is 0.5 m3/hr. The
mean inhalation rate for children at rest, ages 6 and 10, is 0.4 m3/hr.
The total amount of time spent indoors, outdoors, and in transportation vehicle at
three activity levels for both males and females of all age groups are presented in
Table 3-19. The total average hours spent indoors was 20.4, outdoors was 1.77, and in
transportation vehicle was 1.77. Based on the data presented in Tables 3-18 and 3-19, a
daily inhalation rate was calculated for adults and children by using a time-activity-ventilation
approach. The calculated average daily inhalation rates are 16 nvVday for adults. The
average daily inhalation rate for children (6 and 10 yrs) is 18.9 m3/day ([16.74 + 21.02]/2).
These data are presented in Table 3-20.
A limitation associated with this study is that many of the values used in the data
compilation were from early studies. The accuracy and/or validity of the values used and

data collection method were not presented in the U.S. EPA (1985) report. '"This may
introduce some degree of uncertainty in the results obtained. An advantage of this study is
that the data are actual measurement data for a large number of subjects and data are
presented for both adults and children.
International Commission on Radiological Protection - Report of the Task Group on
Reference Man - The International Commission of Radiological Protection (ICRP) estimated
daily inhalation rates for reference adult males, adult females, children (10 years old), infant
(1 year old), and newborn babies by using a time-activity-ventilation approach. This
approach for estimating inhalation rate over a specified period of time was based on
calculating a time weighted average of inhalation rates associated with physical activities of
varying durations. ICRP (1981) selected reference values (Appendix Table 3A-8) of minute
volume/inhalation rates from a compiled data of various literature sources. ICRP (1981)
assumed the daily activities of a reference man, woman, and child consisted of 8 hours of
rest and 16 hours of light activities divided evenly between occupational and nonoccupational
activities, while an infant's and a newborn's daily activities consisted of 10 and 1 hour
resting and 14 and 23 hours light activities, respectively. Table 3-21 presents the daily
inhalation rates obtained for all ages/gender. The estimated inhalation rates were 23 m3/day
for adult males, 21 m3/day for adult females, 15 m3/day for children (age 10), 3.8 m3/day
for infants (age 1), and 0.8 m3/day for newborns.
A limitation associated with this study is that the validity and accuracy of the
inhalation rates data used in the compilation were not specified. This may introduce some
degree of uncertainty in the results obtained. Also, the approach used involved assuming
hours spent by various age/gender cohorts in specific activities. These assumptions may
if
over/under-estimate the inhalation rates obtained.
3.2.4. Recommendations
The recommended inhalation rates for adults, children, and outdoor workers/athletes
are based on the key studies described in the preceding sections. Different survey designs
and populations were utilized by the studies described in this report. A summary of these
designs, data generated, and their limitations/advantages are presented in Table 3-22.

Excluding the study by Layton (1993), the population surveyed in all
described in this report were limited to the Los Angeles area. This limited population does
not represent the general U.S. population and may result in biases. However, based on other
aspects of the study design, these studies were selected as the basis for recommended
inhalation rates. The selection of inhalation rates to be used for exposure assessment studies
depends on the age of the exposed population and the specific activity levels of this
population during various exposure scenarios. The recommended values for adults, children
(including infants), and outdoor worker/athlete for use in various exposure scenarios are
discussed below.
Adults - For purposes of this recommendation, adults include adolescent (13-18 yrs),
young to middle age adults (19-64 yrs), and older adults (65+ yrs). The daily inhalation
rates reported for adults are summarized as follows:
Summary of Inhalation Rates for Long Term Exposure
Arithmetic Mean Upper percentile
(m3/day) (m3/day) Reference
13 (1st approach) - Layton, 1993
13 (2nd approach) - Layton, 1993
14 (3rd approach) - Layton, 1993
20 (Calculated, See Table 3-11) 85.5 Spier etal., 1992
The daily inhalation rate (20 m3/day) calculated from the data generated by Spier et al.
(1992) is much higher when compared with the rates (13-14 m3/day) obtained by
Layton (1993). This discrepancy can be attributed to the feet that the population surveyed by
Spier et al. (1992) only represented individuals between 13-17 years old (adolescents), and
heart rate (HR) and diary information were collected during hours spent awake (i.e., sleep
was excluded in the activity level). Also, this age group of individuals tend to be more
active than older adults. In contrast, the Layton (1993) study represented a wider
age/gender cohort (13 years and older) and sleep was included in the activity level.
Therefore, 20 m3/day (Spier et al., 1992) may represent the daily inhalation rate during
active hours only. Based on this observations, the suggested daily inhalation rates for adults
3-45
-------
DRAFT
<0 KOT QU':;I-E OR
<,,f,v- Oj-iTi * ~5;".,"
ranges from 13-14 m3/day (Layton, 1993). Therefore, for continuous exposure assessments™
in which specific activity patterns are not known, 13.3 m3/day is the recommended average
daily inhalation rate for adults.
The upper percentile estimate (85.5 m3/day) obtained from Spier et al. (1992) appears
very high and can be attributed to the same phenomena explained above. Therefore, 85.5
m3/day may not be an appropriate as an upper percentile estimate. For continuous exposure
assessment studies, 20 m3/day (EPA Ambient Water Quality Criteria Document) is the
widely used average daily inhalation rate. This value is much higher than the (13.3 nrVday)
recommended rate in the Layton (1993) study, but it is similar to the active daily rate (20
m3/day) obtained from the Spier et al. (1992) study. Therefore, 20 nrVday is probably
representive of an upper percentile estimate among adults.
For exposure scenarios in which the distribution of activity patterns is known, the
following results, calculated from the studies referenced can be applied:

Based on these key studies, the following recommendations are made: for short term
exposures in which distribution of activity patterns are specified, the recommended average
rates are 0.4m3/hr during rest; 0.5 m3/hr for sedentary activities; 1.1 m3/hr for light
activities; 1.7 m3/hr for moderate activities; and 2.8 m3/hr for heavy activities.

Children (including Infants) - For purposes of this recommendation, children are
defined as males and females between the ages of 1-12 years old, while infants are
individuals less than 1 year old. The inhalation rates for children are presented below
according to different exposure scenarios. For continuous exposures the daily inhalation
rates are summarized as follows:

21.4 (10-12 yrs) calculated 64.0 (99th) Spier et al., 1992
(Table 3-11)
Based on the key study results (i.e., Layton, 1993), the recommended daily inhalation
rate for infants (children less than 1 yr), during continuous exposure assessments is
4.5 m3/day. The mean daily inhalation rate obtained from the Spier et al. (1992) study is
much higher than the values from the Layton (1993) study. This can be attributed to the
survey methodologies used. In addition, dairy information and heart rate (HR) recordings
were obtained when the children were awake (i.e., during active hours) in the Spier et al.
(1992) study. In contrast, inhalation rates in the Layton (1993) study inhalation rates were
calculated either based on basal metabolic rate (BMR) which includes resting or on food
energy intake. Also both studies represent different age groups. Therefore, based on the
Layton (1993) study, the recommended average daily inhalation rate for children between the
ages of 1 and 12 years is 8.7 m3/day. The same observations discussed above can be
attributed to the upper percentile estimate (64 m3/day) obtained from the Spier et al. (1992)
study.

For short term exposures, the recommended average hourly inhalation rates are based on
these key studies. They are as follows: 0.3 m3/hr during rest; 0.4 m3/hr for sedentary
activities; 1.0 m3/hr for light activities; 1.2 m3/hr for moderate activities; and 1.9m3/hr for
heavy activities. The recommended short-term exposure data also includes infants (less than
iyr).
Outdoor Worker/Athlete - Inhalation rate data for outdoor workers/athlete are limited.
However, based on the key studies (Linn et al., 1992 and 1993), the recommended average
hourly inhalation rate for outdoor workers is 1.3 m3/hr and the upper-percentile rate is 3.5
m3/hr (see Tables 3-7 and 3-8). The recommended average inhalation rates for outdoor
workers based on their activity levels categorized as slow (light activities), medium
(moderate activities), and fast (heavy activities) are 1.1 m3/hr, 1.5 m'/hr, and 2.3 m3/hr,
respectively. These values are based on the data from Linn et al. (1992 and 1993) (see
Tables 3-7 and 3-9).

4. DERMAL ROUTE
DRAFT
DQL.HOT QUOTE OR
«j* CITE
Dermal exposure to environmental contaminants can occur during a variety of
activities and may be associated with a number of different environmental media
(U.S. EPA, 1992). These media include:
• Water (e.g., bathing, washing, swimming);
• Soil (e.g., outdoor recreation, gardening, construction);
* Sediment (e.g., wading, fishing);
• Liquids (e.g., use of commercial products);
• Vapors (e.g., use of commercial products); and
• Indoor dust (e.g., children playing on carpeted floors).
The major factors that must be considered when estimating dermal exposure include
the amount of or concentration of contaminant contacting the skin, the duration of exposure,
the rate at which the material is absorbed, and the size of the exposed body surface area.
This chapter focuses primarily on measurements of the body surface areas and various factors
for estimating dermal exposure to contaminants in water and soil. U.S. EPA (1992), Dermal
Exposure Assessment; Principles and Applications, provides detailed information concerning
dermal exposure using a stepwise guide for the exposure assessment process.
4.1. EQUATION FOR DERMAL DOSE
The average daily dose (ADD) is the dose rate averaged over a pathway-specific
period of exposure expressed as a daily dose on a per-unit-body-weight basis. The ADD is
used for exposure to chemicals with non-carcinogenic non-chronic effects. For compounds
with carcinogenic or chronic effects, the lifetime average daily dose (LADD) is used. The
LADD is the dose rate averaged over a lifetime. For contact with contaminated water,
dermally absorbed average daily dose can be estimated by (U.S. EPA 1992):
BWx AT
4-1
-------
DRAFT
DO HOT QUOTE OR
CITE
where:
ADD = average daily dose (mg/kg-day);
DAevent = absorbed dose per event (mg/cm2-event);
EV = event frequency (events/yr);
ED = exposure duration (years);
EF = event frequency (days/year);
SA = sMn surface area available for contact (cm2);
BW = body weight (kg); and
AT = averaging time (days) for noncarcinogenic effects, AT = ED and for
carcinogenic effects, AT = 70 years or 25,550 days.
For example, this method is used when calculating absorbed dose for a swimmer. The total
body surface area (SA) is assumed to be exposed to contaminated water for a period of time
(ED). The DAevent is estimated taking in consideration the permeability coefficient from
water, the chemical concentration in water and event duration. The approach for estimating
DA^ent is different for inorganics and organics. The nonsteady-state approach for estimating
the dermally absorbed dose from water is recommended as the preferred approach for
application to organics which exhibit oetanol-water partitioning (U.S. EPA, 1992). First, the
method more accurately reflects normal human exposure conditions since the short contact
times associated with bathing and swimming generally mean that steady state will not occur.
Second, the method accounts for the dose that can occur after the actual exposure event due
to absorption of contaminants stored in skin lipids. It is recommended that the traditional
steady-state approach be applied to inorganics (U.S. EPA, 1992). Use of the nonsteady-state
model for organics has implications for how to select Kp values for these chemicals (U.S.
EPA, 1992). The reader is referred to U.S. EPA (1992) for detailed information for
estimating the absorbed dose per event (DAevent).
For contact with contaminated soil, a variation of Equation 4-1 is used. Dermally
absorbed dose is calculated using the equation below:
DA,vmr x EF x ED x SA ~ ,0,
ADD « — (Eqn- 4'2)
BWxAT

where:
JJ.D ISO? QUO 13 OR
ADD = average daily dose (mg/kg-day);
DAevent = absorbed dose per event (mg/cm2-event);
SA = skin surface area available for contact (cm2);
EF = exposure frequency (events/year);
ED = exposure duration (years);
BW = body weight (kg); and
AT = averaging time (days), a non-carcinogenic effects, AT — ED, and for
carcinogenic effects, AT = 70 years or 25,550 days.
Estimation of the DAevent for contaminated soil exposure is based on the concentration
of the contaminant in the soil, the adherence factor of soil to skin, and the absorption
fraction,
The apparent simplicity of the absorption fraction (% absorbed) makes this approach
appealing, but it is not practical to apply it to water contact scenarios, such as swimming,
because of the difficulty in estimating the total material contacted (U.S. EPA, 1992). There
is essentially an infinite thickness of material available, and the contaminant will be
continuously replaced, thereby increasing the amount of available material by some large, but
unknown, amount. Therefore, the permeability coefficient-based approach is advocated over
the absorption fraction approach for determining the dermally absorbed dose of compounds in
an aqueous media (U.S. EPA, 1992). In contrast, not all of the soil contaminant in a thick
layer of dirt applied to the skin can be considered to be bioavailable, nor can it be considered
to constitute a dose. However, if the amount of contaminant in the adhered soil can be
established, the absorption fraction approach may be practical. Because of the lack of Kp
data for compounds bound to soil, and reduced uncertainty in defining an applied dose, the
absorption fraction-based approach is suggested for determining the dermally absorbed dose
of soil contaminants. The reader is referred to U.S. EPA (1992) for a more detailed
explanation of the equations, assumptions, and approaches, that have been are presented in
this section.

DO NOT QUOTE OR
CITE
4.2.1. Background
Dermal exposure to contaminants is an important pathway that warrants consideration
in many exposure assessments. The size of the exposed surface area is a necessary
component of any dermal exposure scenario. Upon determination that a contaminant can
gain access to the body through topical (skin) exposure, the assessor may use estimations of
total body surface area or, depending upon the exposure scenario, estimations of specific
body part surface areas to calculate the contact rate for the contaminant. Information on soil
adherence to human skin may also be needed, depending on the scenario. This section
presents values for total body surface area and the surface area of component body parts that
may be exposed to contaminated media, information on the application of surface area data,
and dermal adherence data. The available studies are summarized in the following sections.
Studies on surface area and adherence have been classified as either key studies or relevant
studies based on their applicability to exposure assessment needs. Recommended values are
based on the results of key studies, but relevant studies are also presented to provide the
reader with added perspective on the current state-of-knowledge pertaining to dermal
exposure factors.
4.2.2. Measurement Techniques
Direct measurement techniques that have been used to measure total body surface area
include direct coating, triangulation, and surface integration (U.S. EPA, 1985). The coating
methods consist of coating either the whole body or specific regions with a substance of
known or measured area. Triangulation consists of marking the area of the body into
geometric figures, then calculating the figure areas from their linear dimensions. Surface
integration is performed by using a planimeter and adding the areas.
Using the triangulation measurement technique, surface area of the body can be
estimated using geometric approximations by assuming that parts of the body resemble
geometric solids (Boyd, 1935). More recently, Popendorf and Leffinwell (1976), and
Haycock et al. (1978) have developed geometric methods for estimating body surface area

(U.S. EPA, 1985). Both methods assume that body parts correspond to geometric solids,
such as the sphere and cylinder. A linear method was proposed by DuBois and DuBois
(1916) (U.S. EPA, 1985). It was based on the principle that the surface areas of the parts of
the body are proportional, rather than equal, to the surface area of the solids they resemble.
In addition to direct measurement techniques, several formulae, including that of
Gehan and George (1970), have been proposed for estimating body surface area from
measurements of other major body dimensions (i.e., height and weight) (U.S. EPA, 1985).
Generally, the formulae are based on the principles that body density and shape are roughly
the same and that the relationship of surface area to any dimension may be represented by
the curve of central tendency of their plotted values or by the algebraic expression for the
curve (U.S. EPA, 1985). A discussion and comparison of formulae to determine total body
surface area are presented in Appendix 4A.
Determination of the surface areas of the component body parts has been performed
by a number of authors as part of their determination of whole body surface areas. The
surface areas of anatomical parts have been reported by gender, age, and ethnic group.
Early studies have reported surface areas for such component parts as head, trunk, upper
arms, forearms, hands, thighs, legs, and feet. Several investigators have estimated body
surface area and reported their results in terms of surface areas of different parts of the body
as well as total surface area (U.S. EPA, 1985). The literature contains surface area of body
parts as both direct measurements and as estimates using the linear and geometric methods.
4.2.3. Key Surface Area Studies
U.S. EPA (1985) - Development of Statistical Distributions or Ranges of Standard
Factor Used in Exposure Assessments - U.S. EPA (1985) analyzed the direct surface area
measurement data of Gehan and George (1970) using the Statistical Processing System (SPS)
software package of Buhyoff et aL (1982). The data of Gehan and George (401
observations) were selected from the data of Boyd (1935) where the data were complete for
surface area, height, weight, and age. Although Boyd (1935) reported surface area estimates
for 1,114 individuals, only 401 observations were used by Gehan and George (1970) in their
analysis. These observations were those obtained by direct coating, triangulation or surface

integration methods (Gehan and George, 1970). SPS was used to generafe'eqiSlions for
calculating surface area as a function of height and weight. These equations were then used
to calculate surface area distributions of the U.S. population using the height and weight data
obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) n and the
computer program QNTLS of Rochon and Kalsbeek (1983) (U.S. EPA, 1985). A
description of the computer program is provided in Appendix B of U.S. EPA (1985).
The equation proposed by Gehan and George (1970) was determined in U.S. EPA
(1985) as the best choice for estimating total body surface area. However, the paper by
Gehan and George gave insufficient information to estimate the standard error about the
regression. Therefore, the 401 direct measurements of children and adults (i.e., Boyd, 1935)
were reanaly2ed in U.S. EPA (1985) using the formula of Dubois and Dubois (1916) and
SPS to obtain the standard error.
Regression equations using the Dubois and Dubois (1916) formula were also
developed for specific body parts by U.S. EPA (1985) using the surface area of various body
parts provided by Boyd (1935) and Van Graan (1969), and SPS. Regression equations for
adults were developed for the head, trunk (including the neck), upper extremities and lower
extremities. Upper extremities comprise arms and hands; arms are further divided into upper
arms and forearms. Lower extremities include legs and feet, with legs further divided into
thighs and lower legs. Table 4-1 presents a summary of the equation parameters developed
in U.S. EPA (1985) for calculating surface area of adult body parts. Equations to estimate
the body part surface area of children were not developed because of insufficient data.
Percentile estimates of total surface area and surface area of body parts developed by
U.S. EPA (1985) using the regression equations and NHANES n height and weight data are
presented in Table 4-2 and 4-3 for adult males and adult females, respectively. The
calculated mean surface areas of body parts for men and women are presented in Table 4-4.
The standard deviation, the minimum value, and the maximum value for each body part are
included. The median total body surface area for men and women and the corresponding
standard errors about the regressions are also given. It has been assumed that errors
associated with height and weight are negligible (U.S. EPA, 1985). The data in Table 4-5
present the percentage of total body surface by body part for men and women.

Percentile estimates for total surface area of children for males ancTfemales are
presented in Tables 4-6 and 4-7 were calculated using the total surface area regression
equation, NHANES n height and weight data, and using QNTLS. Estimates are not
included for children younger than 2 years old because NHANES height data are not
available for this age group. For children, the error associated with height and weight
cannot be assumed to be zero because of their relatively small sizes. Therefore, the standard
errors of the percentile estimates cannot be estimated, since it cannot be assumed that the
errors associated with the exogenous variables (height and weight) are independent of that
associated with the model; there are insufficient data to determine the relationship between
these errors.
Available measurements of the surface area of children's body parts are summarized
as a percentage of total surface area in Table 4-8. Because of the small sample size, the data
cannot be assumed to represent the average percentage of surface area by body part for all
children. Note that the percent of total body surface area contributed by the head decreases
from childhood to adult status, whereas that contributed by the leg increases.
An advantage of this study is that it provides statistical distributions based on a large
number of observations for adults. It also provides data for total surface and body parts by
gender for adults. In addition, data are also provided (with limitations described previously)
for children. Any disadvantages of this study are those associated with the data sets used. A
possible limitation is that more than half the 401 observations used in the analyses are for
children. In addition, the data may not be representative of the general U.S. population.
However, the results from the analyses by U.S. EPA (1985) have been generally accepted as
the most recommended to use.
Phillips et al, - Distributions of Total Skin Surface Area to Body Weight Ratios -
Phillips et al. (1993) observed a strong correlation (0.986) between surface area and body
weight and studied the effect of using these factors as independent variables in the LADD
equation. Phillips et al. (1993) concluded that, because of the correlation between these two
variables, the use of surface area to body weight (SA/BW) ratios in human exposure
assessments is more appropriate than treating these factors as independent variables. Direct

literature were used to calculate surface area to body weight (SA/BW) ratios for three age
groups (infants aged 0-2 years; children aged 2.1-17.9 years; and adults 18 years and older)
of the population. These ratios were calculated by dividing surface areas by corresponding
body weights for the 401 individuals provided in Gehan and George (1970), and ultimately
summarized in U.S. EPA (1985). Distributions of SA/BW ratios were developed and
summary statistics were calculated for the three age groups and the entire data set was then
combined. Summary statistics for these populations are presented in Table 4-9. The shapes
of these SA/BW distributions were determined using D'Agostino's test. The results indicate
that the SA/BW data for infants are lognormally distributed and the SA/BW data for adults
and all ages combined are normally distributed (Figure 4-1). SA/BW ratios for children
were neither normally nor lognormally distributed. According to Phillips et al. (1993),
SA/BW ratios should be used to calculate LADDs by replacing the surface area factor in the
numerator of the LADD equation with the SA/BW ratio and eliminating the body weight
factor in the denominator of the LADD equation.
The effect of sex and age on SA/BW distribution was also analyzed by classifying the
401 observations by sex and age. Statistical analyses indicated no significant differences
between SA/BW ratios for males and females. SA/BW ratios were found to decrease with
increasing age.
Advantages of this study is that it uses direct measurement data for the analyses and it
provides distribution data for calculating LADD. Any limitations with this study are those
associated with the data set that were used to generate this distribution. In addition, data are
not provided for body parts in this study.

for men and women ages 18 to 74 years were estimated using Monte Carlo simulations based
on height and weight distributions. Four different formulae for estimating surface area as a
function of height and weight were employed.

on height and weight. These are presented in Appendix 4A. Costeff (1966) developed a
formula based on 220 observations that estimate surface area based on weight only.
The formula for calculating total body surface area developed by Costeff (1966) is as
follows:
SA= 4W+7/W+90 (Eqn. 4-3)
where:
SA — Surface Area (m2); and
W - Weight (kg).
These formulae for estimating surface area (as a function of height and weight) were
compared and the effect of the correlation between height and weight on the surface area
distribution was analyzed.
Monte Carlo simulations were conducted to estimate surface area distributions. They
were based on the bivariate distributions as estimated by Brainard and Burmaster (1992) for
height and natural logarithm of weight and the formulae described above. A total of 5000
random samples each for men and women were selected from the two correlated bivariate
distributions. Surface area calculations were made, for each sample and for each surface
area formula, resulting in surface area distributions.
Murray and Burmaster (1992), found mat the surface area frequency distributions
were similar for the four models (Table 4-10). Using the U.S. EPA (1985) formula, the
median surface area values were calculated by Murray and Burmaster (1992) to be 1.96 m2
for men and 1.69 m2 for women. The median value for women is identical to that generated
by U.S. EPA (1985) but the median value for men differs from the U.S. EPA (1985) value
by approximately 1 percent. Surface area was found to have lognormal distribution for both
men and women (Figure 4-2). It was also found that assuming correlation between height
and weight influences the final distribution by less than 1 percent.
Advantages of this study is that it provides frequency distributions for surface area of
men and women based on a large data set. It also produced results similar to the results of

the U.S. EPA, 1985 analyses. Limitations associated with the study are that the results
cannot be applied to children, and it does not provide data for body parts.
4,2.5. Application of Body Surface Area Data
For many exposure settings, it is likely that only certain areas of the body are at risk
of exposure. To estimate the total surface area of the body dermally exposed to the
contaminant, all body parts that come in contact with a contaminant must be determined.
The data in Table 4-4 may be used to estimate the total surface area of the particular body
part(s) exposed. For example, to assess exposure to contaminants in a cleaning product for
which only the hands are exposed, surface area values for hands on Table 4-4 may be used.
For cleaning products for which both the hands and arms are exposed, mean surface areas
for these parts may be summed to estimate the total surface area exposed for. that exposure
scenario (Table 4-4). The mean surface area of these body parts for men and women is as
follows:
Surface Area Cm2)
Men Women
Arms (includes upper forearms) 0.228 0.210
Hands 0.084 0.075
Total area 0.312 0.285
Therefore, the total body part surface area that may be in contact with the contaminant
contained in the cleaning product is 0.312 m2 for men and 0.285 m2 for women.
According to U.S. EPA (1992), one inherent assumption of many exposure scenarios
developed in the past is that clothing prevents dermal contact and subsequent absorption of
contaminants. This assumption may in fact be faulty in cases where the contaminant is
carried in a fine dust or liquid suspension, which may be able to penetrate clothing. Studies
using personal patch monitors placed beneath clothing of pesticide workers show that a
significant proportion of the dermal exposure may occur at anatomical sites covered by
clothing (U.S. EPA, 1992). In addition, it has been demonstrated that a "pumping" effect
can occur which causes material to move under clothing (U.S. EPA, 1992). Furthermore,
studies have demonstrated that hands cannot be considered to be protected from exposure

even if waterproof gloves are worn. This may be because of contamination on the ulterior
surface of the gloves, removal of gloves during machine adjustments, and handling of the
outside of the gloves while putting them on or taking them off (U.S. EPA, 1992).
Depending on their specific tasks, pesticide workers have been shown to experience 12
percent to 43 percent of their total exposure through their hands, approximately 20 percent to
23 percent through their heads and necks, and 36 percent to 64 percent through their torsos
and arms, despite the use of protective gloves and clothing (U.S. EPA, 1992). These studies
were conducted with fine mists and vapors.
For swimming and bathing scenarios, past exposure assessments have assumed that 75
percent to 100 percent of the skin surface is exposed (U.S. EPA, 1992). As shown in
Table 4-4, total adult body surface areas can vary from about 17,000 cm2 to 23,000 cm2.
The mean is reported as about 20,000 cm2. For default purposes, adult surface areas of
20,000 cm2 (central estimate) to 23,000 cm2 (upper percentile) are recommended in U.S.
EPA (1992). Tables 4-2 and 4-3 can also be used when the default values are not preferred.
U.S. EPA (1992) recommends that default values for children should be derived from
Table 4-6 or 4-7 using the 50th and 95th percentile values for the ages of concern to
represent central and upper-percentile values.
Clothing is expected to limit the extent of the exposed surface area in cases of soil
contact. The 1989 Exposure Factors Handbook, U.S. EPA (1989) presented two adult
clothing scenarios for outdoor activities:
Central tendency mid range: Individual wears long sleeve shirt,
pants, and shoes. The exposed skin
surface is limited to the head and
hands (2,000 cm2);
Upper percentile: Individual wears a short sleeve
shirt, shorts, and shoes. The
exposed skin surface is limited to
the head, hands, forearms, and
lower legs (5,300 cm2).
The clothing scenarios presented above, suggest that roughly 10 percent to 25 percent of the
skin area may be exposed to soil. Since some studies have suggested that exposure can occur
under clothing, the upper end of this range was selected in EPA, 1992 for deriving defaults.
4-23
-------
DRAFT
DO HOI QUOTE OR
CHS
Thus, taking 25 percent to the total body surface area results in defaults for adults of 5,000
cm2 to 5,800 cm2. The range of defaults for children can be derived from multiplying the
50th and 95th percentiles by 0.25 for the ages of interest.
When addressing soil contact exposures, assessors may also want to refine estimates
of surface area exposed on the basis of seasonal conditions. For example, in moderate
climates, it may be reasonable to assume that 5 percent of the skin is exposed during the
winter, 10 percent during the spring and fall, and 25 percent during the summer.
4.3. DERMAL ADHERENCE OF SOIL
4.3.1. Background
Dermal adherence of soil to the surface of the skin is a parameter needed for
calculating dermal dose when the exposure scenario involves dermal contact with
contaminated soil. A number of studies have attempted to determine the magnitude of
dermal soil adherence. These studies are described in detail in U.S. EPA (1992).
i
4.3.2. Past Studies on Dermal Adherence of Soil
Lepow et al. (1975) - Investigations into Sources of Lead in the Environment of Urban
Children - This study was conducted to identify the behavioral and environmental factors
contributing to elevated lead levels in ten preschool children. The study was performed over
a period of 6-25 months (Lepow et al., 1975). Samples of dirt from the hands of the study
subjects were collected during the course of play around the areas that they lived. The study
used preweighed self-adhesive labels to sample a standard area on the palm of the hands of
16 male and female children. The preweighed labels were pressed on a single area, and
often pressed several times on the given area to obtain an adequate sample. In the
laboratory, labels were equilibrated in a desiccant cabinet for 24 hours (comparable to the
preweighed desiccation), then the total weight was again recorded. The mean weight of hand
dirt for the 22 hand samples was 11 mg; on a 21.5 cm2 preweighed label, this amounts to
0.51 mg/cm2. Lepow et al. (1975) stated that this amount (11 mg) represented only a small
fraction (percent not specified) of the total amount of surface dirt present on the hands,

because much of the dirt may be trapped in skin folds and creases; moreover, there may

Roels et al. - Exposure to Lead by the Oral and the Pulmonary Routes of Children
Living in the Vicinity of a Primary Lead Smelter - Roels et al. (1980) examined blood lead
levels among children living in the vicinity of a large lead smelter in Brussels, Belgium
during five different study periods. The overall age group ranged from 9-14 years. The
total number of study subjects was 661 children. This study assessed lead levels removed
from 661 children's hands by rinsing the hands in 500 mL dilute nitric acid. The amount of
lead on the hands was divided by the concentration of lead in soil to estimate the amount of
soil adhering to the hands. The mean soil amount adhering to the hands was 0.159 g.
Sedman - The Development of Applied Action Levels for Soil Contact; A Scenario for
the Exposure of Humans to Soil in a Residential Setting - Sedman (1989) used the estimate
from Roels et al. (1980) and the average surface area of the hand of an 11 year old (i.e., 307
cm2) to estimate the amount of soil adhering per unit area of skin (0.9 mg/em2). The
Sedman (1989) estimate assumed that approximately 60% (185 cm2) of the lead on the hands
was recovered by the method employed by Roels et al. (1980).
Sedman (1989) used the previously presented estimates from Lepow et al. (1975),
Roels et al. (1980), and Que Hee et al. (1985) to develop a maximum soil load that could
occur on the skin given the types of procedures employed in each study. A rounded
arithmetic mean of 0.5 mg/cm2 was calculated from the three studies. According to Sedman
(1989), this was near the maximum load of soil that could occur on the skin depending on
the type of method used to determine the measurement. Also, it is unlikely that most skin
surfaces would be covered with this amount of soil (Sedman, 1989).

fraction, removing excess dust by shaking the hands, and then measuring theHHierence in
weight before and after dust application. On average, 31.2 mg of dust adhered to the small
adult palm. The exposed surface area was approximately 20 cm2. Based on these
assumptions, 1.5 mg of dust adhered to 1 cm2 of skin.
Driver et a/. - Soil Adherence to Human Skin - This study conducted soil adherence
experiments which involved the use of various soil types collected from sites in Virginia. A
total of five soil types were collected: Hyde, Chapanoke, Panorama, Jackland, and
Montalto. Both top soils and subsoils were collected for each soil type. The soils were also
characterized by cation exchange capacity, organic content, clay mineralogy, and particle size
distribution. The soils were dry sieved to obtain particle sizes of £250 /xm and £ 150 /xm.
For each soil type, the amount (mg) of soil adhering to adult male hands, using both sieved
and unsieved soils, was determined gravimetrically (i.e., measuring the difference in soil
sample weight before and after soil application to the hands). An attempt was made to
measure only the minimal or "monolayer" of soil adhering to the hands. This was done by
mixing a pre-weighed amount of soil over the entire surface area of the hands for a period of
approximately 30 seconds, followed by removal of excess soil by gently rubbing the hands
together after contact with the soil. Excess soil that was removed from the hands was
collected and thexweight compared with the original soil sample weights. Driver et al.
(1989) measured average adherences of 1.40 mg/cm2 for particle sizes less than 150 /*m,
0.95 mg/cm2 for particle sizes less than 250 /*m and 0.58 mg/cm2 for unsieved soils. The
analysis of variance statistics showed that the most important factor affecting adherence
variability was particle size, with a variance (F) ratio far in excess of the 0.999 significance
value (p < 0.001). The next most important factor is soil type and subtype with an F ratio
also in excess of 0.999 significance level (p < 0.001). The interaction of soil type and
particle size was also significant, but at a lower 0.99 significance level (p < 0.01).
Driver et al. (1989) found statistically significant increases in adherence with
decreasing particle size; whereas, Que Hee et al. (1985) found relatively small changes over
particle size. Also, the amount of adherence found by Driver et al. (1989) was greater than
that of Que Hee et al. (1985). Although it appears that soil particle size may affect

adherence, exact quantitative relationships cannot be derived at this time because of
insufficient data. It is suggested that this is an area for further study (Driver et al. 1989).
Yang et al. - In vitro and In vivo Percutaneous Absorption of Benzo[a]pyrene from
Petroleum Crude - Fortified Soil in the Rat - Yang et al. (1989) evaluated the percutaneous
absorption of benzo[a]pyrene (BAP) in petroleum crude oil sorbed on soil using a modified
in vitro technique. This method was used in preliminary experiments to determine the
minimum amount of soil adhering to the skin of rats (Yang et al., 1989). Based on these
preliminary results from soil evaluation, percutaneous absorption experiments with the crude-
sorbed soil were conducted-with soil particles of < 150 ^m only (Yang et al. (1989). This
particle size was intended to represent the composition of the soil adhering to the skin surface
(Yang et al., 1989). Approximately 9 mg/cm2 of soil was found to be the minimum amount
required for a "monolayer" coverage of the skin surface in both in vitro and in vivo
experiments. This value is larger than the < 1 mg/cm2 of soil (dust) reported for human skin
in the studies of Lepow et al. 1975; Roels et al. 1980; and Que Hee et al., 1985 (Yang et
al., 1989). Yang et al. 1985 suggested that the differences between the rat and human soil
adhesion findings may be the result of differences in rat and human skin texture, the types of
soils used, soil moisture content or possibly the methods of measuring soil adhesion.
4.3.3 New Soil Adherence Research
Kissel et al, - Dermal Soil Exposure: Investigation of Soil Contact and Skin Coverage
- Kissel et al. (1995) conducted soil adherence experiments using five soil types: Canyon
Park (sandy loam,"CP"), Day Creek (silt loam, "72"), Blewett Pass King Creek (loamy
sand, "85"), Darrington (sand, "211"), and Nooksack Middle Fork (sandy loam, "228").
The soils were analyzed by hydrometer to determine composition, and to characterize them
by organic content. The soils were dry sieved to obtain particle size ranges of < 150, 150-
250, and >250 /ttm. For each soil type, the amount (mg) of soil adhering to adult male
hands, using both sieved and unsieved soils, was determined by measuring the difference in
soil sample weight before and after hands were pressed in the soil. Loadings were estimated
by dividing the recovered soil mass by total hand area, although loading occurred primarily
on only one side of the hand. Adherence was found to be directly correlated with moisture

content, inversely correlated with particle size and independent of clay content, and organic
carbon content.
Kissel et al. (1995) used a fluorescent marking technique and video imaging to assess
the percentage of skin coverage in several soil contact trials in a greenhouse setting, and an
irrigation pipe laying trial (Table 4-11). The investigators concluded that adjusted loadings,
averaged over fluorescing area only, may be two to three orders of magnitude larger than
average loadings if average loadings are small.
Further experiments by Kissel et al. (1995) estimated soil adherence associated with
various indoor and outdoor activities: greenhouse gardening, tae kwon do students, soccer,
rugby, reed gathering, irrigation installation, truck farming, and playing in mud. Subjects'
body surfaces (forearms, hands, lower legs in all cases, faces and/or feet pairs in some
cases) were washed before and after target activities. Paired surfaces were pooled into
single samples. Mass recovered was converted to loading using allometrie models of surface
area. These 'data are presented in Table 4-12.
4.3.4 Advantages and Limitations of the Soil Adherence Studies
The soil adherence value from the Yang et al. (1989) study which used rat skin was
not included for consideration because of the uncertainties associated with using this value
for human dermal exposure scenarios. Among the remaining studies, the Lepow (1975) and
the Roels (1980) studies have the advantage that they were conducted under actual field
conditions and the disadvantage that they involved collection methods with unknown
efficiencies. The use of coEection methods that were less than 100% efficient suggest that
the estimates may be low. However, only hand samples were collected which suggests that
the estimates may be high for other parts of the body that probably have less soil contact.
Finally, only children were surveyed, and they may not be representative of adults. The Que
Hee et al. (1989) and Driver et al. (1989) studies used the gravimetric methods which do not
involve a collection method with unknown efficiency and should, therefore, provide accurate
estimates of adherence potential. However, these studies were conducted under laboratory
conditions and examined adherence to hands only after intimate contact with soil. Such
contact may not be representative of normal behavior. Parts of the body that have less

intimate contact with the soil will likely have lower values. The new studies by Kissel have
the advantages of measuring soil adherence on all exposed skin areas, for both children and
adults and under actual field conditions.
4.4. RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter has reviewed the available data on parameters needed to characterize
dermal contact scenarios involving water and soil. Table 4-13 summarizes the surface area
studies presented in this chapter. For most dermal exposure scenarios concerning adults, it is
recommended that the body surface areas presented in Table 4-4 be used after determining
which body parts will be exposed. Table 4-4 was selected because using these data will be a
straightforward determination for most scenarios. However, for others, additional
considerations may need to be addressed. For example, (1) the type of clothing worn could
have a significant effect on the surface area exposed, and (2) climatic conditions will also
affect the type of clothing worn and, thus, the skin surface area exposed. Frequency and
event and exposure duration for water activities and soil contact are presented in the Activity
Patterns section of Chapter 5 of this report. For each parameter, a range of default values
were derived corresponding to average and upper pereentile values. Each of these
considerations are also discussed in more detail in U.S. EPA (1992). Data in Tables 4-2 and
4-3 can be used when distributions are preferred. A range of default values for surface area
children may be taken from Tables 4-6 and 4-7 using the 50th and 95th pereentile values for
age(s) of concern. A range of recommended default values for adult skin surface area were
provided in U.S. EPA (1992) and are as follows:

Table 4-14 summarizes the available soil adherence studies. The adherence value
represents the amount of soil on the skin at the time of measurement. Assuming that the
amount measured on the skin represents its accumulation between washings and that people
wash at least once per day, then these adherence values could be interpreted as daily contact
rates (U.S. EPA, 1992). However, since the residence time of soils on skin has not been
studied and the adherence studies are independent of time, this is not recommended. Instead,
it, is recommended that these adherence values are interpreted on an event basis (U.S.
EPA, 1992).
The data in Table 4-14 were reviewed for the purposes of recommending a default
value. In summary, all of the early studies have the disadvantage that they measured
adherence values to hands only. The new studies by Kissel measured adherence on all
exposed body parts under actual field conditions. Therefore, these studies now offer the best
data base for deriving estimates of soil adhernece. Based on Kissel et al. 1995, the following
generalizations about soil adherence can be drawn:
Soil properties can influence adherence. Adherence increases with moisture
content, decreases with particle size, and is relatively unaffected by clay or
organic carbon content.
Adherence levels vary considerably across different parts of the body.
Logically, the highest levels were found on common contact points such as
hands, knees and elbows. Generally the least adherence was detected on the
face.
Adherence levels vary with activity. In general, the highest levels of soil
adherence were seen for outdoor workers such as farmers and irrigation
installers, followed by outdoor recreation, and then gardening activities. Very
high adherence levels were seen for individuals contacting wet soils such as
might occur during wading or other shore area recreational activities.
These generalizations suggest that changes are needed to the recommendations in U.S.
EPA, 1992 regarding soil adherence. The earlier recommendations suggested applying an
average of 0.2 to 1.0 mg/cm2 to the entire exposed skin surface area without consideration of
the type of activity. The new studies suggest a more site-specific approach is needed which

FORMULAE FOR TOTAL BODY SURFACE AREA
Most formulae for estimating surface area (SA), relate height to weight to surface area.
The following formula was proposed by Gehan and George (1970):
SA = KW2/3 (Eqn. 4A-1)
where:
SA = surface area in square meters;
W = weight in kg; and
K = constant.
While the above equation has been criticized because human bodies have different specific
gravities and because the surface area per unit volume differs for individuals with different
body builds, it gives a reasonably good estimate of surface area.
A formula published in 1916 that still finds wide acceptance and use is that of DuBois
and DuBois. Their model can be written:
(Eqn. 4A-2)
where:
SA = surface area in square meters;
H = height in centimeters; and
W = weight in kg.
The values of a*, (0.007182), a, (0.725), and a2 (0.425) were estimated from a sample of
only nine individuals for whom surface area was directly measured. Boyd (1935) stated that
4A-1

the Dubois formula was considered a reasonably adequate substitute for measuring surface
area. Nomograms for determining surface area from height and mass presented in Volume I
of the Geigy Scientific Tables (1981) are based on the DuBois and DuBois formula. In
addition, a computerized literature search conducted for this report identified several articles
written in the last 10 years in which the DuBois and DuBois formula was used to estimate
body surface area.
Boyd (1935) developed new constants for the DuBois and DuBois model based on 231
direct measurements of body surface area found in the literature. These data were limited to
measurements of surface area by coating methods (122 cases), surface integration (93 cases),
and triangulation (16 cases). The subjects were Caucasians of normal body build for whom
data on weight, height, and age (except for exact age of adults) were complete. Resulting
values for the constants in the DuBois and DuBois model were % = 0.01787, at = 0.500,
and % = 0.4838. Boyd also developed a formula based exclusively on weight, which was
inferior to the DuBois and DuBois formula based on height and weight.
Gehan and George (1970) proposed another set of constants for the DuBois and DuBois
model. The constants were based on a total of 401 direct measurements of surface area,
height, and weight of all postnatal subjects listed in Boyd (1935). The methods used to
measure these subjects were coating (163 cases), surface integration (222 cases), and
triangulation (16 cases).
Gehan and George (1970) used a least-squares method to identity the values of the
constants. The values of the constants chosen are those that minimize the sum of the squared
percentage errors of the predicted values of surface area. This approach was used because
the importance of an error of 0.1 square meter depends on the surface area of the individual.
Gehan and George (1970) used the 401 observations summarized in Boyd (1935) in the least-
squares method. The following estimates of the constants were obtained: % = 0.02350,
aj «= 0.42246, and a2 = 0.51456. Hence, their equation for predicting surface area (SA) is:
4A-2
-------

SA = 0.02350 H°'42246 W°-51456 (Eqn. 4A-3)
or in logarithmic form:
In SA= -3.75080 + 0.42246 In H + 0.51456 In W (Eqn. 4A-4)
where:
SA = surface area in square meters;
H = height in centimeters; and
W = weight in kg.
This prediction explains more than 99 percent of the variations in surface area among the 401
individuals measured (Gehan and George, 1970).
The equation proposed by Gehan and George (1970) was determined by the U.S. EPA
(1985) as the best choice for estimating total body surface area. However, the paper by
Gehan and George gave insufficient information to estimate the standard error about the
regression. Therefore, the 401 direct measurements of children and adults (i.e., Boyd, 1935)
were reanalyzed in U.S. EPA (1985) using the formula of Dubois and Dubois (1916) and the
Statistical Processing System (SPS) software package to obtain the standard error.
The Dubois and Dubois (1916) formula uses weight and height as independent
variables to predict total body surface area (SA), and can be written as:
SAj = a

where:
SAi = surface area of the i-th individual (m2);
Hi = height of the i-th individual (cm);
Wi = weight of the i-th individual (kg);
^Ot al>
and az = parameters to be estimated; and
6; = a random error term with mean zero and constant
variance.
Using the least squares procedure for the 401 observations, the following parameter
estimates and their standard errors were obtained:
ao = -3.73 (0.18), aj = 0.417 (0.054), a2 = 0.517 (0.022).
The model is then:
SA = 0.0239 H°-417 W°-517 (Eqn. 4A-7)
or in logarithmic form:
In SA = -3.73 + 0.417 In H + 0.517 In W (Eqn. 4A-8)
with a standard error about the regression of 0.00374. This model explains more than
99 percent of the total variation in surface area among the observations, and is identical to
two significant figures with the model developed by Gehan and George (1970).
When natural logarithms of the measured surface areas are plotted against natural
logarithms of the surface predicted by the equation, the observed surface areas are
symmetrically distributed around a line of perfect fit, with only a few large percentage
deviations. Only five subjects differed from the measured value by 25 percent or more.
Because each of the five subjects weighed less than 13 pounds, the amount of difference was

small. Eighteen estimates differed from measurements by 15 to 24 percent. Of these, 12
weighed less than 15 pounds each, 1 was overweight (5 feet 7 inches, 172 pounds), 1 was
very tMn (4 feet 11 inches, 78 pounds), and 4 were of average build. Since the same
observer measured surface area for these 4 subjects, the possibility of some bias in measured
values cannot be discounted (Gehan and George 1970).
Gehan and George (1970) also considered separate constants for different age groups:
less than 5 years old, 5 years old to less than 20 years old, and greater than 20 years old.
The different values for the constants are presented below:

The surface areas estimated using the parameter values for all ages were compared to
surface areas estimated by the values for each age group for subjects at the 3rd, 50th, and
97th percentiles of weight and height. Nearly all differences in surface area estimates were
less than 0.01 square meter, and the largest difference was 0.03 m2 for an 18-year-old at the
97th percentile. The authors concluded that there is no advantage in using separate values of
BO, alf and a2 by age interval.
Haycock et al. (1978) without knowledge of the work by Gehan and George (1970),
developed values for the parameters %, aj, and a2 for the DuBois and DuBois model. Their

interest in making the DuBois and DuBois model more accurate resulted from their work in
pediatrics and the fact that DuBois and DuBois (1916) included only one child in their study
group, a severely undernourished girl who weighed only 13.8 pounds at age 21 months.
Haycock et al. (1978) used their own geometric method for estimating surface area from 34
body measurements for 81 subjects. Their study included newborn infants (10 cases), infants
(12 cases), children (40 cases), and adult members of the medical and secretarial staffs of
2 hospitals (19 cases). The subjects all had grossly normal body structure, but the sample
included subjects of widely varying physique ranging from thin to obese. Black, Hispanic,
and white children were included in their sample. The values of the model parameters were
solved for the relationship between surface area and height and weight by multiple regression
analysis. The least squares best fit for this equation yielded the following values for the
three coefficients: ao = 0.024265, a, = 0.3964, and a2 = 0.5378. The result was the
following equation for estimating surface area:
SA = 0.024265 H°J964 W°-5378 (Eqn. 4A-9)
expressed logarithmically as:
In SA = In 0.024265 + 0.3964 In H + 0.5378 In W (Eqn. 4A-10)
The coefficients for this equation agree remarkably with those obtained by Gehan and George
(1970) for 401 measurements.
George et al. (1979) agree that a model more complex than the model of DuBois and
DuBois for estimating surface area is unnecessary. Based on samples of direct measurements
by Boyd (1935) and Gehan and George (1970), and samples of geometric estimates by
Haycock et al. (1978), these authors have obtained parameters for the DuBois and DuBois
model that are different than those originally postulated in 1916. The DuBois and DuBois
model can be written logarithmically as:

The agreement between the model parameters estimated by Gehan and George (1970)
and Haycock et al. (1978) is remarkable in view of the feet that Haycock et al. were unaware
of the previous work. Haycock et al. used an entirely different set of subjects, and used
geometric estimates of surface area rather than direct measurements. It has been determined
that the Gehan and George model is the formula of choice for estimating total surface area of
the body since it is based on the largest number of direct measurements.
Nomogtams
Sendroy and Ceeehini (1954) proposed a graphical method whereby surface area could
be read from a diagram relating height and weight to surface area. However, they do not
give an explicit model for calculating surface area. The graph was developed empirically
based on 252 cases, 127 of which were from the 401 direct measurements reported by Boyd

(1935). In the other 125 cases the surface area was estimated using the linear method of
DuBois and DuBois (1916). Because the Sendroy and Cecchini method is graphical, it is
inherently less precise and less accurate than the formulae of other authors discussed above.

5. OTHER FACTORS FOR EXPOSURE CALCULATIONS ' —
In previous chapters, intake rate, inhalation rate, and information for dermal uptake
(body surface area) have been addressed. Other factors are needed to perform the exposure
calculation using equation for average daily potential dose are life expectancy, body weight
and activity patterns data. These factors are addressed in this chapter.
5.1. LIFETIME
Statistical data on life expectancy are published annually by the U.S. Department of
Commerce in the publication: "Statistical Abstract of the United States." The latest year for
which statistics are available is 1992. Preliminary data for 1992 show that the life
expectancy for an average person born in the United States in 1992 is 75.7 years (U.S.
Bureau of the Census, 1994). The average life expectancy for males is 72.3 years, and 79
years for females. Life expectancies for various subpopulations born in the years 1970 to
1992 are presented in Table 5-1. Table 5-1 also indicates that life expectancy for white
/
males (73.2 years) is longer than for Black males (65.5 years). Additionally, it indicates that
life expectancy for White females (79.7 years) is longer than for Black females (75.6).
Although current data suggest that 75 years would be an appropriate value to reflect the
average life expectancy of new members of the population, 70 years has been widely
accepted for conducting exposure assessments, and is the recommended value. However, it
should be noted that if gender is a factor considered in the assessment, the average life
expectancy value for females is higher than for males. Also, if race is a consideration in
assessing exposure to male individuals, note that the life expectancy is about 8 years longer
for Whites than for Blacks.
5.2. BODY WEIGHT STUDIES
The purpose of this section is to describe published studies on body weight for the
U.S. population. The studies have been grouped as either key or relevant studies. The
classifications of these studies have been based on their applicability of the data to exposure
assessments.

5.2.1. Key Body Weight Studies
NCHS - Anthropometric Reference Data and Prevalence of Overweight, United States,
1976-80 - Statistics on anthropometric measurements, including body weight, for the U.S.
population were collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through the
second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II). NHANES H was
conducted on a nationwide probability sample of approximately 28,000 persons, aged 6
months to 74 years, from the civilian, non-institutionalized population of the United States.
Of the 28,000 persons, 20,322 were interviewed and examined, resulting in a response rate
of 73.1 percent. The survey began in February 1976 and was completed in February 1980.
The sample was selected so that certain subgroups thought to be at high risk of malnutrition
(persons with low incomes, preschool children and the elderly) were oversampled. The
estimates were weighted to reflect national population estimates. The weighting was
accomplished by inflating examination results for each subject by the reciprocal of selection
probabilities adjusted to account for those who were not examined and post stratifying by
race, age, and sex (NCHS, 1987).
NHANES n collected anthropometric information on 20,322 individuals. Standard
body measurements, including height and weight, were made at various times of the day and
;
in different seasons of the year. This technique was used because one's weight may vary
between winter and summer and may fluctuate with recency of food and water intake and
other daily activities (NCHS, 1987). Mean body weights of adults, by age, and their
standard deviations are presented in Table 5-2 for men, women, and both sexes combined.
Mean body weights and standard deviations for children, ages 6 months to 19 years, are
presented in Table 5-3 for boys, girls, and boys and girls combined. Percentile distributions
of the body weights of adults by age and race for males are presented in Table 5-4, and for
females in Table 5-5. Data for children by age are presented in Table 5-6 for males, and for
females in Table 5-7.
Results shown in Tables 3 and 4 indicate that the mean weight for adult males is 78.1
kg and for adult females, 65.4 kg. It also shows that the mean weight for White males (78.5
kg) is greater than for Black males (77.9 kg). Additionally, mean weights are greater for
Black females (71.2 kg) than for White females (64.8 kg). From Table 5-3, the mean body

weights for girls and boys are approximately the same from ages 6 months to 14 years.
Starting at years 15-19, the difference in mean body weight ranges from 6-11 kg.
5.2.2. Other Relevant Body Weight Studies
Burmaster et al. (Submitted 2/19/94 to Risk Analysis for Publication) - Lognormal
Distributions of Body Weight as a Function of Age for Female and Male Children in the
United States - Burmaster et al. (1994), performed data analysis to fit normal and lognormal
distributions to the body weights of female and male children at age 6 months to 20 years
(Burmaster et al., 1994).
Data used in this analysis were from the second survey of the National Center for
Health Statistics (NHANES n) of 4,079 females and 4,379 males 6 months to 20 years of
age in the U.S. (Burmaster et al., 1994). The data of NCHS had been statistically adjusted
for non-response and probability of selection and stratified by age, sex, and race to reflect
the whole U.S. population prior to reporting (Burmaster et al., 1994). Burmaster et al.
(1994) conducted exploratory and quantitative data analyses, and fit normal and lognormal
distributions to percentiles of body weight for children. Cumulative distribution functions
(CDFs) were plotted for female and male body weights on both linear and logarithmic scales.
Two models were used to assess the probability density functions (PDFs) of children's
body weight. Linear and quadratic regression lines were fitted to the data. A number of
goodness-of-fit measures between the two models were conducted. Burmaster et al. (1994)
found that lognormal distributions give strong fits to the body weights of children, ages 6
months to 20 years. Statistics for the lognormal probability plots are presented in Tables 5-8
and 5-9. These data can be used for further analyses, i.e., Monte Carlo.
Brainard and Burmaster - Bivariate Distributions for Height and Weight of Men and
Women in the United States - Brainard and Burmaster (1992) examined data on the height
and weight of adults published by the U.S. Public Health Service and fit bivariate
distributions to the tabulated values for men and women, separately.
Height and weight of 5,916 men and 6,588 women in the age range of 18-74 years
were taken from the NHANES n Study and statistically adjusted to represent the U.S.
population aged 18-74 years with regard to age structure, sex, and race. Estimation

techniques were used to fit normal distributions to the cumulative marginal data and '
goodness-of-fit tests were used to test the hypothesis that height and lognormal weight follow
a normal distribution for each sex. It was found that the marginal distributions, of height
and lognormal weight for both men and women, are Gaussian in form. This conclusion was
reached by visual observation and the high R2 values obtained using linear regression. The
R3 values for men's height and lognormal weight are reported to be 0.999. The R2 values
for women's height and lognormal weight are 0.999 and 0.985, respectively.
Brainard and Burmaster fit bivariate distributions to estimated numbers of men and
women aged 18-74 years in cells representing 1 inch intervals in height and 10 pound
intervals in weight. Adjusted height and lognormal weight data for men were fit to a single
bivariate normal distribution with an estimated mean height of 69.2 inches and an estimated
mean weight of 173.2 pounds. For women, height and lognormal weight data were fit to a
pair of superimposed bivariate normal distributions (Brainard and Burmaster, 1992). The
average height and weight for women were estimated from the combined bivariate analyses.
Mean height for women was estimated to be 63.8 inches and mean weight was estimated to
be 145.0 pounds. For women, a calculation using a single bivarite normal distribution gave
poor results (Lloyd and Burmaster, 1994). According to Brainard and Burmaster, the
distributions are suitable for use in Monte Carlo simulation.
5.2.3. Recommendations
The mean body weight for all adults (male and female, all age groups) combined is
71.8 kg as shown in Table 5-2. The mean values for each age group in Table 5-2 were
derived by adding the body weights for men and women and dividing by 2. The 71.8 kg
value can be rounded to 70 kg and is the recommended as the body weight to be used for
adults if distribution data are not needed. If age and sex distribution of the exposed
population is known, the mean body weight values in Table 5-2 can be used. If percentile
data are needed or if race is a factor, Tables 5-4 and 5-5 can be used to select the
appropriate data for percentiles or mean values. For children, appropriate mean values for
weights may be selected from Table 5-3. If percentile values are needed, these data are
presented in Table 5-6 for male children and in Table 6 for female children. Using the body

weight data in Table 5-3, and the corresponding population percentages in TaBle 5-6, the'~r"~
average body weight for the entire population of individuals age 6 months to 19 years was
calculated to be 36 kg. This value may be used as a default body weight value for the entire
population of children under 19 years if specific age groups are not used.
5.3. ACTIVITY PATTERNS
In exposure assessments, a person's average daily dose can be determined from a
combination of variables including the pollutant concentration, exposure duration, and
frequency of exposure. These variables can be dependent on human activity patterns and
time spent at each activity/location. A person's total exposure can be predicted using
indirect approaches such as computerized models. This indirect approach of predicting
exposure also requires activity patterns (time use) data.
The purpose of this section is to describe published time use studies that provide
information on time-activity patterns of the national population and various sub-populations in
the U.S. The studies involve survey designs where time diaries were used to collect
information on the time spent at various activities and locations for children, adolescents, and
adults, and for certain demographic and socioeconomic data. Available studies on time-
activity data are summarized in the following sections, and they are grouped as key studies
or other relevant studies. The classifications of these studies are based on the applicability of
their data to exposure assessments. It should be noted that other site-limited studies, based
on small sample sites, are available, but are not presented in this section. The studies
presented in this section are ones believed to be the most appropriate for the purpose of the
Handbook.

compared time use data obtained from two national surveys mat were conducted in 1965-
1966 and in 1975. Each survey used the time-diary method to collect data. The 1965-66
survey excluded the people in the following categories: (a) non-SMSA's (Census Bureau
areas with no city more than 50,000 population); (b) households where no adult members

were in the labor force for at least 10 hours per week; (c) age 65 and over; and (d) farm-
related occupations (Robinson, 1977). The 1,244 respondents in the 1965-66 study included
either employed men and women or housewives (Robinson, 1977). The survey was
conducted between November-December 1965 and March-April 1966. Respondents recorded
their daily activities in time diaries by using the "tomorrow" approach. In this approach,
diaries were kept on the day following the interviewer's initial contact. The interviewer then
made a second call to the respondent to determine if the information in diaries were correct
and to obtain additional data. Only one person per household was interviewed. The survey
was designed to obtain information on time spent with family members, time spent at various
locations during activities, and time spent performing primary and secondary activities.
A similar study was conducted in 1975. Unlike the 1965-1966 survey, the 1975
survey included rural areas, farmers, the unemployed, students, and retirees. The 1975
survey was conducted October through December. Time diary data were collected using the
"yesterday" approach. In this approach, interviewers made only one contact with
respondents (greater than 1500) and the diaries were filled out based on a 24-hour recall
(Robinson, 1977). Time diary data were also collected from the respondents spouses.
In both surveys, the various activities were coded into 96 categories, and then were
combined into five major categories. Free-time activities were grouped into 5 sub-categories
(Appendix Table 5A-1). In order to compare data obtained from both surveys, Robinson
(1977) excluded the same population groups in the 1975 survey that were excluded in the
1965-66 survey (i.e., fanners, rural residents).
Results obtained from the surveys were presented by gender, age, marital and
employment status, race, and education. Robinson (1977) reported the data collected in
hours/weeks, however, the method for converting daily activities to hours/weeks were not
presented. Table 5-10 shows the differences in time use by gender, employment, and marital
status for five major activity categories and five subcategories for 1965 and 1975. Time
spent on work related activities (i.e. work for pay and family care) was lower in 1975 than
in 1965 for employed men and women. Table 5-10 also shows mat there was an overall
increase in free time activities for all the six groups. The difference in time use in 1965 and
1975 are presented by age, education, and race in Tables 5-11, 5-12, and 5-13, respectively.

These tables include data for students and certain employed respondents that were excluded
in Table 5-10 (Robinson, 1977). In 1975, the eldest group (ages 56-65) showed a decline in
paid work, and an increase in family care, personal care and sleep (Table 5-11). Education
level comparisons across the ten-year interval indicated that the less educated had a decrease
in paid work, an increase in sleep and personal care; the most educated had an increase in
work time and a decrease in other leisure (Table 5-12). For racial comparisons, Blacks spent
less time at paid work than Whites across the ten-year interval (Table 5-13). Table 5-13 also
shows that Blacks spent more time man Whites for free time activities in 1975.
A limitation of this study is that statistical analysis of the data set were not provided.
Additional limitations are that the time use data are old and the data may not reflect current
changes in time use. The 1965 and 1975 data set excluded certain population groups and,
therefore, may not be entirely representative of the U.S. population. An advantage of this
study is that time use data were presented by age, gender, race, education level, and
employment and marital status. Another advantage is that earlier investigations on the study
method (24-hr recall) employed in the 1965 study revealed no systematic biases in reported
activities (Robinson, 1977). Robinson (1977) also noted that the time-diary method provides
a "zero-sum" measure (i.e., since there are only 24 daily hours or 168 weekly hours, if time
on one activity increases then time on another activity must decrease). Another limitation
that is these are short-term studies and may not necessarily represent long-term activity
patterns.
luster et al - 1975-1981 'lime Use Longitudinal Panel Study - The Time Allocation
data series in the U.S. began with the first survey in 1965-66 as part of a multinational
project. Time use was measured by a single 24-hour diary (luster et al., 1983). A second
national time use survey was conducted in 1975-1976 and another in 1981 (luster et al.
1983). luster et al. (1983) provided study descriptions of the second and third surveys. The
surveys included a probability sample of adult population (18 years and older) and children
i
between the ages of 3 and 17 in the United States. In both surveys, time use was measured
from 24-hour recall diaries administered to respondents and their spouses. The 1975-1976
survey involved four waves of interview: wave 1, October-November 1975; wave 2,
February 1976; wave 3, May-June 1976; wave 4, September 1976. The first wave was a

personal interview and the other three waves were telephone interviews. The 1975-1976
survey sample consisted of 2,300 individuals, and of that sample, IS 19 respondents. Four
recall diaries (one from each wave of interviews) were obtained from 947 respondents with
data on time use measures for two weekdays, one Saturday, and one Sunday. The survey
was designed to gather information for: employment status; earnings and other income;
"consumption benefits for activities of respondents and their spouses;" health, friendships and
associations of the respondents; stock technology available to the household, house repair,
and maintenance activities of the family; division of labor in household work and related
attitudes; physical characteristics of the respondents housing structure, networth and housing
values; job characteristics; characteristics of mass media usage on a typical day (luster
etal., 1983).
The 1981 survey was a follow-up of respondents and spouses who had completed at
least three waves of interview in the 1975-1976 survey. For the 1981 survey, 920
individuals were eligible. The survey design was similar to the 1975-1976 survey, however
in this survey, the adult population was 25 years and older and consisted of 620 respondents.
Four waves of interviews were conducted between February - March 1981 (wave 1), May -
June 1981 (wave 2), September 1981 (wave 3), and November - December (wave 4). The
1981 survey included the respondents* children between the ages of 3 and 17. The survey
design for children provided information on time use measures from two time diary reports:
one school day and one non-school day. In addition, information for academic achievement
measures, school and family life measures, and ratings from the children's teachers were
gathered during the survey.
luster et al. (1983) did not report the time use data obtained for the 1975-1976 survey
or the 1981 survey. These data are stored in four tape files and can be obtained from the
Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) in Michigan. The
response rate for the first wave of interview (1975-76 survey) based on the original sample
population was 66 percent, and the subsequent waves ranged from 42 percent (wave 4) to 50
percent (wave 2). In the 1981 survey, the response rate based on eligible respondents was
67 percent for the first interview, and ranged from 54 percent (wave 4) to 60 percent (wave
2) in the subsequent interviews (Juster et al., 1985). The 1975-1976 survey included 87

activities. In the 1981 survey, these 87 activities were broken down into ^mallei
components, resulting in 223 activities (luster et al., 1985). The activity codes and
descriptors used for the adult time diaries in both surveys are presented in Appendix
Table 5A-1.
A limitation of this study is that time use data which would be useful in exposure
assessments were not presented. Another limitation is that time use data collected were
based on a 24-hour diary recall. This may somewhat bias the data set obtained from this
survey. An advantage associated with this survey is that it provides a data base of
information on various human activities. This information can be used to assess various
exposure pathways and scenarios associated with these activities. Also, some of the data
from these surveys were used in the studies conducted by Timmer et al. (1985) and Hill
(1985). In addition, the activity descriptor codes developed in these studies were used by
Timmer et al (1985), Hill (1985), and Robinson and Thomas (1991). The studies are also
presented in this section. Another advantage of this survey is that the data are based on a
national survey and conducted over a one year period, resulting in a seasonally balanced
survey and one representative of the U.S. population.
Timmer et al. - How Children Use Time - Timmer et al. (1985) conducted a study
using the data obtained on children's time use from a 1981-1982 Panel follow-up of 1975-
1976 households. Respondents (922) in this study were those that completed at least three
out of four waves of interview in the 1975 - 1976 survey. The survey was conducted
February through December 1981, and households were contacted four times during a 3
month interval of the survey period. The first contact was a personal interview, followed by
subsequent telephone interviews for most of the respondents. However, families with
children were contacted personally and questionnaires were administered to three children per
household.
The children surveyed were between the ages of 3 through 17 years old and were
interviewed twice. The questionnaires administered to children had two components: a time
diary and a standardized interview. The time diary involved children reporting their
activities beginning at 12.00 a.m. the previous night; the duration and location of each
activity; the presence of another individual; and whether they were performing other

activities at the same time. The standardised interview administered to tfie children was to
gather information about their psychological, intellectual (using reading comprehension tests),
and emotional well-being; their hopes and goals; their family environment; and their attitudes
and beliefs.
For preschool children, parents provided information about their previous day
activities. Children in first through third grades completed the time diary with their parents
and, in addition, completed reading tests. Children in the fourth grade and above provided
their own diary information and participated in the interview. Parents were asked to assess
their children's socioemotional and intellectual development. A survey form was sent to a
teacher of each school-age child to evaluate each child's socioemotional and intellectual
development.
The mean time spent performing major activities on weekdays and weekends by age
and sex, and type of day is presented in Table 5-14. On weekdays, children spend about 30
percent of their time sleeping, 20 percent in school, and 10 percent eating, washing,
dressing, and performing other personal activities (Timmer et al., 1985). The data in
Table 5-14 indicates that girls spend more time than boys performing household work and
personal care activities, and less time playing sports. Also, children spend most of their free
time watching television. Table 5-15 presents the mean time children spend during weekdays
and weekends performing major activities by five different age groups. Also, the significant
effects of each variable (i.e., age, sex) are shown in Table 5-15. Older children spend more
time performing household and market work, studying and watching television, and less time
eating, sleeping, and playing. Timmer et al. (1985) estimated thai on the average, boys
spend 19.4 hours a week watching television and girls spend 17.8 hours per week performing
the same activity.
A limitation associated with this study is that the data reflect only the time of the year
when children attend school; time use during school vacation was not accounted for.
Therefore, the data does not provide an overall annual estimate of children's time use.
Another limitation is that a distribution pattern of children's time use was not provided. In .
addition, the survey was conducted in 1981 and because activity patterns in children may
have changed significantly from that period when compared with recent times. Therefore,

application of these data for current exposure situations may bias exposure assessments
results. An advantage of this survey is that diary recordings of activity patterns were kept
and the data obtained were not completely based on recall. Another advantage is that parents
assisted younger children with keeping their diaries and during interviews; this helped to
minimize any bias that may have been created by having younger children record their data.
Hill - Patterns of Time Use - Hill (1985) investigated the total amount of time
American adults spend in one year performing various activities and the variation in time use
across three different dimensions: demographic characteristics, geographical location, and
seasonal characteristics. In this study, time estimates were based on data collected from time
diaries in four waves (1 per season) of a survey conducted in the 1975-1976 Time Allocation
Study. The survey was conducted from fall 1975 through fall 1976. The sampling periods
included two weekdays, one Saturday, and one Sunday. The 1975-1976 Time Allocation
Study provided information on the amount of time spent performing primary activities. The
information gathered were responses to the survey question ("what were you doing?"). The
survey also provided information on secondary activities (i.e., respondents performing more
than one activity at the same time). Hill (1985) analyzed time estimates for 10 broad
categories of activities based on data collected from 87 activities. These estimates included
seasonal variation in time use patterns and comparisons of time use patterns for different
days of the week. The 10 major categories and ranges of activity codes are listed in
Appendix Table 5A-2. Hill (1985) collected data on time use for the major activity patterns
in four different age groups (18-24, 25-44, 45-64, and 65 and older). However, the time use
data were summarized in graphs rather than in tables.
Analysis of the 1975-76 survey data revealed very small regional differences in time
use among the broad activity patterns (Hill, 1985). The weighted mean hours per week spent
performing the 10 major activity categories presented by region are shown in Table 5-16. In
all regions, adults spent more time on personal care (included night sleep). Adults in the
North Central region of the country spent more time on market work activities than adults in
other regions of the country. Adults in the South spent more time on leisure activities
(passive and active combined) than adults elsewhere (Table 5-16). Table 5-17 presents the
time spent per day, by the day of the week for the 10 major categories. Time spent on the

87 activities (components of the 10 major categories) are presented in Appendix T
Adult time use was dominated in descending order by personal care (including sleep), market
work, passive leisure, and house work. Collectively, these activities represent about 80
percent of available time (Hill, 1985).
According to Hill (1985), sleep was the single most dominant activity averaging about
56.3 hours per week. Television watching (passive leisure) averaged about 21.8 hours per
week, and housework activities averaged about 14.7 hours per week. Weekdays were
predominantly market-work oriented. Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) were predominantly
devoted to household tasks ("sleeping in," socializing, and active leisure) (Hill, 1985).
Table 5-18 presents the mean time spent performing these 10 groups of activities during each
wave of interview (fell, winter, spring, and summer). Adjustments were made to the data to
assure equal distributions of weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays (Hill, 1985). The data
indicates that the time adults spent performing market work, child care, shopping,
organizational activities, and active leisure were fairly constant throughout the year (Hill,
1985). The mean hours spent per week in performing the 10 major activity patterns are
presented by gender in Table 5-19 (time use patterns for all 87 activities are presented in
Appendix Table 5A-4) . The data in Table 5-19 indicates that time use patterns from the
mid-1970's survey show gender differences. Men spent more time on activities related to
labor market work and education, and women spent more time on household work activities.
A limitation associated with this study is that the time data were obtained from an old
survey conducted in the mid-1970s. Because of dynamic changes in the present society,
applying these data to current exposure assessments may result in some biases. Another
limitation is that time use data were not presented for children. An advantage of this study
is that time diaries were kept and data were not based on recall. The former approach may
result in a more accurate data set. Another advantage of this study is that the survey is
seasonally balanced since it was conducted throughout the year and the data are from a large
survey sample.

educational attainment. Occupational tenure was defined as "the cumulativenumber of years
a person worked in his or her current occupation, regardless of number of employers,
interruptions in employment, or time spent in other occupations" (Carey, 1988). The
information presented was obtained from supplemental data to the January 1987 Current
Population Study, a U.S. Bureau of the Census publication. Carey (1988) did not present
information on the survey design.
The median occupational tenure by age and gender, ethnicity, and employment status
are presented in Tables 5-20, 5-21, and 5-22, respectively. The median occupational tenure
of the working population (109.1 million people) 16 years of age and older in January of
1987, was 6.6 years (Table 5-20). Table 5-20 also shows that median occupational tenure
increased from 1.9 years for workers ages 16-24 to 21.9 for workers 70 years and older.
The median occupational tenure for men 16 years and older was higher (7.9 years) than for
women of the same age group (5.4 years). Table 5-21 indicates that whites had more
occupational tenure (6.7 years) than blacks (5.8 years), and Hispanics (4.5 years). Full-time
workers had more occupational tenure than part-time workers 7.2 years and 3.1 years,
respectively (Table 5-22).
Table 5-23 presents the median occupational tenure among major occupational groups.
The median tenure ranged from 4.1 years for service workers to 10.4 years for people
employed in farming, forestry, and fishing. In addition, median occupational tenure among
detailed occupations ranged from 24.8 years for barbers to 1.5 years for food counter and
fountain workers (Appendix Table 5A-5).
The strength of an individual's attachment to a specific occupation usually is
dependent on the individual's investment in education (Carey, 1988). Carey (1988) reported
the median occupational tenure for the surveyed working population by age and educational
level. Workers with 5 or more college years had the highest median occupational tenure of
10.1 years. Workers that were 65 years and older with 5 or more college years had the
highest occupational tenure level of 33.8 years. The median occupational tenure was 10.6
years for self-employed workers and 6.2 years for wage and salary workers (Carey, 1988).
A limitation associated with this study is that the survey design employed in the data
collection was not presented. Therefore, the validity and accuracy of the data set cannot be

determined. Another limitation is that only median values were reported in~m"e~study. An
advantage of this study is that occupational tenure (years exposed to a specific occupation)
was obtained for various age groups by gender, ethnicity, employment status, and educational
level. Another advantage of this study is that the data were based on a survey population
which appears to represent the general U.S. population.
Carey - Occupational Tenure, Employer Tenure, and Occupational Mobility - Carey
(1990) conducted another study similar in scope to the study of Carey (1988). The January
1987 Current Population Study (CPS) was used. This study provided data on occupational
mobility and employer tenure in addition to occupational tenure. Occupational tenure was
referred in Carey (1988) as the "the cumulative number of years a person worked in his or
her current occupation, regardless of number of employees, interruptions in employment, or
time spent in other locations." Employer tenure was defined as "the length of time a worker
/"
has been with the same employer," while occupational mobility was defined as "more or less
a mirror image of occupational tenure; it measures the number of workers who change from
one occupation to another" (Carey, 1990). Occupational mobility was measured by asking
individuals who were employed both in January 1986 and January 1987 if they were doing
the same kind of work in each of these months (Carey, 1990). Carey (1990) further
analyzed the occupational mobility data and obtained information on entry and exit rates for
occupations. These rates were defined as "the percentage of persons employed in an
occupation who had voluntarily entered it from another occupation; conversely, an exit rate
is the percentage of persons employed in an occupation who had voluntarily left for a new
occupation" (Carey, 1990).
Table 5-24 shows the voluntary occupational mobility rates in January 1987 for
workers 16 years and older. For all workers, the overall voluntary occupational mobility
rate was 5.3 percent. These data also show that younger workers left occupations at a higher
rate than older workers. Carey (1990) reported that 10 million of the 100.1 million
individuals employed in January 1986 and in January 1987 had changed occupations during
that period, resulting in an overall mobility rate of 9.9 percent. Executive, administrative,
and managerial occupations had the highest entry rate of 5.3 percent, followed by
administrative support including clerical at 4.9 percent. Sales had the highest exit rate of 5.3

percent and service had the second highest exit rate of 4.8 percent (Carey7T990)T"In January
1987, the median employer tenure for all workers was 4.2 years. The median employee
tenure was 12.4 years for those workers that were 65 years of age and older (Carey, 1990).
Because the study was conducted by Carey (1990) was in a similar manner to that of
the previous study (Carey, 1988), the same advantages and disadvantages associated with
Carey (1988) also apply to this data set.
Robinson and Thomas - Time Spent in Activities, Locations, and Microenmronments:
A California-National Comparison - Robinson and Thomas (1991) reviewed and compared
data from the 1987-88 California Air Resources Board (CARB) tune activity study and from
a similar 1985 national study, American's Use of Time. Data from the national study were
recorded similarly to the CARB code categories, in order to make data comparisons
(Robinson and Thomas, 1991).
j>
The CARB study involved residents who lived in the state of California. One adult
18 years or older was randomly sampled in each household and was asked to complete a
diary with entries for the previous day's activities and the location of each activity. Time
use patterns for other adults 12 years and older in the households contacted were also
included in the diaries. Telephone interviews based on the random-digit-dialing procedure
were conducted for approximately 1,762 respondents in the CARB survey. These interviews
were distributed across all days of the week and across different months of the year (between
October 1987-August 1988).
In the 1985 national study, single day diaries were collected from over 5,000
respondents across the United States, 12 years of age and older. The study was conducted
January through December, 1985. Three modes of time diary collection were employed for
this survey: mailback, telephone interview, and personal interview. Data obtained from the
personal interviews were not used in this study (Robinson and Thomas, 1991). The sample
population for the mail-back and telephone interview was selected based on a random-digit-
dialing (RDD) method. The RDD was designed to represent all telephone households in the
contiguous United States (Robinson and Thomas, 1991). In addition to estimates of time
spent at various activities and locations, the survey design provided information on the
employment status, age, education, race, and gender for each member of the respondents
5-40
-------
household. The mail-back procedure was based on a "tomorrow" approach and the telephone'
interview was based on recall.
Data comparisons by Robinson and Thomas (1991) were based on 10 major activity
categories (100 sub-category codes) and 3 major locations (44 sub-location codes) employed
in both the CARB and the 1985 national study. In order to make data comparisons,
Robinson and Thomas (1991) excluded responses from individuals of ages 65 years and older
and 18 years or less in both surveys. In addition, only mail-back responses were analyzed
for the 1985 national study. The data were then weighted to project both the California and
national population in terms of days of the week, region, numbers of respondents per
household, and 3 monthly seasons of the year (Robinson and Thomas, 1991).
Table 5-25 shows the mean time spent in the 10 major activities by gender and for all
respondents between the ages of 18-64 years (time use data for the individual activities are
presented in Appendix Table 5A-6). In both studies respondents spent most of their time
(642 mins/day) on personal needs and care (i.e., sleep). Californians spent more time on
paid work, education and training, obtaining goods and services, and communication and less
time on household work, child care, organizational activities, entertainment/social activities,
and recreation than the national population. The male and female population followed almost
the same trend as the general population. Table 5-26 shows the mean time spent at 3 major
locations for the CARB and national study grouped by total sample and gender, ages 18-64
(time use data for the 44 detailed microenvironments are presented in Appendix Table 5A-7).
Respondents spent most time at home, 892 mins/day for the CARB and 954 mins/day for the
national study. Californians spent more of their time away from home and traveling
compared to the national population.
In addition, Robinson and Thomas (1991) defined a set of 16 microenvironments
based on the activity and location codes employed in both studies. The analysis included
data for adolescents (12-17 years) and adults (65 years and older) in both the CARB study
and the mail-back portion of the 1985 national study (Robinson and Thomas, 1991). The
mean duration of time for total sample population, 12 years and older, across three types of
locations are presented in Table 5-27 for both studies. Respondents spent most of their time
indoors, 1255 and 1279 mins/day for the CARB and national study, respectively.

Table 5-28 presents the mean duration of time and standard mean error for the 16
microenvironments grouped by total sample population and gender, respectively. Also
included is the mean time spent for respondents (Doers) who reported participating in each
activity. Table 5-28 shows that in both studies men spend more time in autoplaces, garages,
motor and other vehicles, physical outdoor activities, outdoor sites and work locations. In
contrast, women spend more time cooking, engaging in other kitchen activities, performing
other chores and shopping. The same trend holds on a per participant basis as well.
Table 5-29 shows the mean time spent in various microenvironments grouped by type
of the day in both studies. Generally, respondents spent most of their time during the
weekends in restaurants/ bars (CARB study), motor vehicles, outdoor activities, social-
cultural settings, leisure/ communication activities, and sleeping. Microenvironmental
differences by age are presented in Table 5-30. Respondents in the age group 18-24 and 25-
44 spent most of their time in restaurants/bars and traveling. The oldest age group 65 years
and older spent most of their time in the kitchen (cooking and other kitchen related activities)
and communication activities.
Limitations associated with this study are that the CARB survey was based on recall
and the survey was performed in California only. This may somewhat bias the CARB data
set obtained. Another limitation is that the 1985 national study and the CARB studies were
conducted independently. Therefore, survey designs (i.e., locational coding system) were
different which may have resulted in varying estimates obtained from both studies, including
the data that was recorded by Robinson and Thomas (1991). Other limitations are that time
distribution patterns (statistical analysis) were not provided in both studies and the data are
short term data. An advantage of this study is that the 1985 national study represent the
general U.S. population. Also, it provides time estimates by activities, locations,
microenvironments grouped by age, gender, and type of day. Another advantage is within
the data comparisons, overall, both data sets showed similar patterns of activity (Robinson
and Thomas, 1991).

(CARB, 1991). The sample population consisted of 1,200 respondents (including cliilUien—
under 11 years of age and adult informants residing in the child's household) was selected
using Waksberg random-digit-dialing methods. The population was also stratified to provide
representative estimates for major regions of the state. The survey questionnaire included a
time diary which provided information of the children's activity and location patterns based
on a 24-hour recall period. In addition, the survey questionnaire included questions about
potential exposure to sources of air pollution (i.e., presence of smokers) on the diary day and
the socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender, marital status of adult) of children
and adult respondents. One child was randomly selected from an English-speaking
household. If the selected child was 8 years old or less, the adult in the same household who
spent the most time with the child responded. However, if the selected child was between 9-
11 years old, that child responded. The questionnaires and the time diaries were
administered via a computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CAT!) technology (CARB
1991). The telephone interviews were conducted April 1989 to February 1990 over four
seasons: Spring (April-June, 1989), Summer (July-September, 1989), Fall (October-
December, 1989), and Winter (January-February, 1990).
The data obtained from the survey interviews resulted in ten major activity categories,
113 detailed activity codes, 6 major categories of locations, and 63 detailed location codes.
The average time respondents spent during the 10 activity categories for all children are
presented in Table 5-31. Also included in this table are the detailed activity, including its
code, with the highest mean duration of time; the percentage of respondents who reported
participating in any activity (% doing); and the mean, median, and maximum time duration
for "doers." The dominant activity category, personal care (night sleep being the highest
contributor), had the highest time expenditure of 794 mins/day (13.2 hours/day). All
respondents reported sleeping at night, resulting in a mean daily time per participant of 794
mins/day. Activity category (don't know) resulted in about 2 mins/day and only 4 percent of
the respondents reported missing activity time.
Table 5-32 presents the mean time spent in the 10 activity categories by age and
gender. Differences in activity patterns for boys and girls tended to be small. Table 5-33
presents the mean time spent in the 10 activity categories grouped by seasons and California

regions. There were seasonal differences for 5 activity categories: personat~care,—
educational activities, social/entertainment, recreation, and communication/passive leisure.
Time expenditure differences in regions were minimal for childcare, work-related activities,
shopping, personal care, education, social life, and recreation.
Table 5-34 presents the distribution of time across six location categories. The
participation rates (%) of respondents, the mean, median, and maximum time for "doers."
The detailed location with the highest average time expenditure are also shown. The largest
amount of time spent was at home (1,078 mm/day); 99 percent of respondents spent time at
home (1086 mins/participant/day). Tables 5-35 and 5-36 show the average time spent in the
six locations grouped by age and gender, and season and region, respectively. There are age
differences in time expenditure in educational settings for boys and girls (Table 5-35). There
are no differences in time expenditure at the six locations by regions, and time spent in
school decreased in the summer months compared to other seasons (Table 5-36). Table 5-37
shows the average potential exposure time children (grouped by age and gender) spent in
proximity to tobacco smoke, gasoline fumes, and gas oven fumes. The sampled children
spent more time closer to tobacco smoke (77 mins/day) than gasoline fumes (2 mins/day) and
gas oven fumes (11 mins/day).
A limitation of this study is that the sampling population was restricted to only
English-speaking households; therefore, the data obtained does not represent a diverse
population group present in California. Another limitation is that time use data obtained
from mis survey was based on 24-hr recall, which may somewhat create a bias on the
dataset. Other limitations are: the survey was conducted in California and is not
representative of the national population, and the significance of the observed differences in
the data obtained (i.e., gender, age, seasons, and regions) were not tested statistically. An
advantage of this study is that time expenditure in various activities and locations were
presented for children grouped by age, gender, and seasons. Also, potential exposures of
respondents to pollutants were explored in the survey. Another advantage is the CAT!
program employed in obtaining time diaries. This program allows automatic coding of
activities and locations onto a computer tape, and allows activities forgotten by respondents
to be inserted into its appropriate position during interviewing (CARB, 1991).

Tarshis - The Average American Book - Tarshis (1981) compiled aTboot addressing
the habits, tastes, lifestyles and attitudes of the American people. In that book, Tarshis
reported data for personal grooming. The data presented are gathered from small surveys,
the Newspaper Advertising Bureau and magazines. Tarshis reported frequency and
percentage data by gender and age for performing grooming activities such as showers and
baths as the following:
* 90 percent take some sort of a bath in an average 24-hour period;
* 5 percent average more than 1 shower or bath a day;
• 75% of men shower, 25% take baths;
• 50% of women take showers, 50% take bams;
« 65% of teenage girls 16-19 shower daily;
* 55% of teenage girls take at least one bath a week;
* 50% of women use an additive in their bath every time they bath;
* Younger and richer people are more likely to shower than bath; and
* Showering is more popular than baths in large cities.
Limitations of this study is that the data are compiled from small surveys,
newspapers, and magazines and the data are old. These data may not reflect the current
trends of general population. An advantage is that is present frequency data that are useful
in exposure assessment especially concerning volatilization of chemicals from water.
U.S. EPA - Dermal Exposure Assessment: Principles and Applications - U.S. EPA
(1992a) addressed the variables exposure time, frequency, and duration that are needed to
calculate dermal exposure as related to activity. The reader is referred to the document for a
detailed discussion of these variables in relation to soil and water related activities. The
suggested defaults values that can be used for dermal exposure are presented in Table 5-38.
Limitations of this study is that the default values are based on small datasets and a limited

James and Knuiman - In 1987, James and Knuiman provided a distribution of the
amount of time spent showering. This distribution was based on diary records of 2,500
households. Using these data, a cumulative frequency distribution was derived and is
presented in Table 5-39. Based on these results, the mean shower length is approximately 8
minutes, the median shower length is approximately 7 minutes and the 90th percentile is
approximately 12 minutes.
A Imitation of the study is that the data are from households in Australia and may not
be representative of U.S. households. An advantage is that it is present cumulative
distribution data.
5.3.2. Other Relevant Activity Pattern Studies
Sexton and Ryan - Assessment of Human Exposure to Air Pollution: Methods,
Measurements and Models - Sexton and Ryan (1987) addressed the state of the art air
pollution exposure assessment and identified gaps for future research. Exposure assessments
are dependent on pollutant concentration, exposure duration, and frequency of exposures
(Sexton and Ryan, 1987). There are two basic approaches employed in assessing air
pollution exposure: (1) air monitoring which involves direct (personal monitors) and indirect
measurements; and (2) biological measurements in which biological markers are used to
assess exposure (Sexton and Ryan, 1987). In the direct air monitoring approach, personal
monitors are worn or carried during an individual's daily activities. Generally, participants
maintain records of activities during the test periods. However, this approach is expensive
and inconvenient depending on the size and weight of the monitor. In the indirect approach
air pollution exposure is integrated by combining pollutant concentrations at fixed locations
(i.e., outdoors, indoors) with time diaries, i.e. time spent in various specific micro-
environments (Sexton and Ryan, 1987). Examples of biological measurements include
immunoassay, bioassay specific for mutagenicity, and sister chromatid exchange rate.
Sexton and Ryan (1987) reported that there is a paucity of information on time
budgets and activity patterns as they relate to exposure. They suggested the need for

investigators to conduct mom studies relating time-activity patterns to exposures and studies——
relating factors such as age, gender, socioeconomic status, and occupation to time-activity
patterns. Sexton and Ryan summarized two earlier studies in which time-activity patterns
were measured over a 24-hour period. These data are presented in Table 5-40. The
respondents spent most of their time indoors, 21.95 hours (65 percent of total time) and
22.41 hours (70 percent of total time) for studies 1 and 2, respectively.
A imitation associated with this study is that the accuracy and the validity of the data
presented were not discussed. In addition, the data presented are old, from studies in 1972
and 1974. There may have been significant changes in time expenditure in various
microenvironments over two decades ago compared with recent times. Therefore, applying
this data set to current exposures may bias the results obtained.
Sell - The Use of Children's Activity Patterns in the Development of a Strategy for
Soil Sample in West Central Phoenix - In a report prepared for the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality, Sell (1989) investigated the activity patterns of preschool and school
age children in Phoenix. The survey was conducted in two parts: (1) most of the school age
children were interviewed personally from May through June, 1989 in three schools; and
(2) survey questionnaires were mailed to parents of preschool children.
In the first survey, 15 percent of the total school population (2,008) was sampled with
111 children in grades K-6 participating (response rate of 37 percent). The surveyed
population was 53.2 percent male and 46.8 percent female. Of this population, 41 percent
were Hispanics, 49.5 percent Anglos, 7.2 percent Blacks, and 1.7 percent Asians. The
children interviewed were between the ages of 5-13 years old. Within each school, the
children in grades K-6 were stratified into two groups, primary (grades K-3) and intermediate
(grades 4-6), and the children were selected randomly from each group. However, younger
children in grades K-2 were either interviewed in school or at home in the presence of a
parent or an adult care-provider, to the course of the interview, children were asked to
identify locations of activity areas, social areas (i.e., places they went with friends), favorite
areas, and locations of forts or clubhouses. Aerial photographs were used to mark these
areas.

The second survey involved only preschool children. Parents completed
questionnaires which provided information on the amount of time their children spent
outdoors, outdoor play locations, favorite places, digging areas, use of park or playgrounds,
and swimming or wading locations. This survey was conducted between June-July, 1989.
One thousand (1,000) parents were sampled, but only 211 questionnaires were usable out of
886 questionnaires received. Therefore, the response rate for the preschool's survey was
about 24 percent (based on the 886 valid sample units). The sample population consisted of
children 1 month and up to preschool age. Of this population, S3 percent were Anglos, 18
percent Hispanics, 2 percent Blacks, and 3 percent Asians.
The survey design emphasized the kind of activities children engaged in, but not the
amount of time children spent performing each activity. Therefore, Sell (1989) presented the
data obtained from the survey in terms of percent of respondents who engaged in specific
activities or locations. A summary of percent responses of the preschool and school-age
children's activities at various locations in the Maryvale study areas are presented in
Table 5-41. Also included in mis table is a ranking of children's play locations based on
other existing research works. Based on the survey data, Sell (1989) reported that the
median time preschool children spent outdoors on weekdays was 1-2 hours, and on weekends
the median time spent outdoors was 2-5 hours. Most of these children played outside in their
own yards, and some played in other people's yards or parks and playgrounds (Sell, 1989).
A limitation associated with this study is that the survey design did not report the time
spent in various activities or locations. Another limitation of this study is that the response
rates obtained from the surveys were low and may result in biased data. In addition, the
survey was conducted in Arizona, therefore, the surveyed population does not represent the
children's population on a national basis. An advantage of this study is that various activities
children engage in and locations of these activities were examined. It provides for time spent
outdoors. This information is also useful in determining exposure pathways to toxic
pollutants for children.

5.4. POPDIATIONMOBILHY
5.4.1. Background
An assessment of population mobility can assist in determining the length of time a
household is exposed in a particular location. For example, the duration of exposure to
site-specific contamination, such as a polluted stream from which a family fishes or
contaminated soil on which children play or vegetables are grown, will be directly related to
the period of time residents Eve near the contaminated site.
Information regarding population mobility is compiled and published by the U.S.
Bureau of the Census (BOC). Banks, Insurance Companies, Credit Card Companies, Real
estate and housing associations use residence history information. However, this information
is mostly confidential. Information gathered by the BOC provides information about
population mobility. However, it is difficult to determine the average residence time of a
homeowner or apartment dweller from this information. Census data provide representations
of a cross-section of the population at specific points in time, but the surveys are not
designed to follow individual families through time. The most current Bureau of the Census
information about annual geographical mobility and mobility by State is summarized in
Appendix SB. Figure 5-1 graphically displays the proportion of movers who made each type
of move.
Available information was provided by the Oxford Development Corporation, The
National Association of Realtors, and the Bureau of the Census. According to Oxford
Development Corporation, a property management firm, the typical residence time for an
apartment dweller for their corporation has been estimated to range from 18 to 30 months (S.
Cameron Hendricks, Sales Department, Oxford Development Corporation, Gaithersburg,
MD, personal communication with P. Wood (Versar) August 10, 1992).
5.4.2. Population Mobility Studies
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) (1993) the Home Buying and Selling
Process - The survey was conducted by mailing a questionnaire to 15,000 home buyers
throughout the U.S. who purchased homes during the second half of 1993. The survey was
conducted in December 1993 and 1,763 usable responses were received, a response rate of

12 percent. Of the respondents, forty-one percent were first time buyers. HdmeDuyer"""
names and addresses were obtained from Dataman Information Services. Dataman compiles
information on residential real estate transactions from more than 600 counties throughout the
United States using the Courthouse deed records. Most of the 250 Metropolitan Statistical
Areas are also covered in Dataman's date compilation.
The survey results indicate that the average tenure of home buyers is 7.1 years based
on an overall residence history of the respondents. These results are presented in
Table 5-42. The home buyers were questioned on the length of time they owned their
previous home. A typical repeat buyer was found to have lived in their previous home
between four and seven years. The results of the survey are presented in Table 5-43. The
median length of residence in respondents' previous homes was found to be 6 years.
The number of miles the respondents moved to their new homes were typically short
distances. Seventeen (17) percent of the respondents purchased homes over 100 mites from
their previous homes. However, 49 percent purchased homes less than 10 miles away.
These date are presented in Table 5-44.
Israeli and Nelson (1992) - Distribution and Expected Time of Residence for U.S.
Households - In risk assessments, the average current residence time (time since moving into
current residence) has often been used as a substitute for the average total residence time
(time between moving into and out of a residence) (Israeli and Nelson, 1992). Israeli and
Nelson (1992) have estimated distribution and expected time of residence for U.S.
households. Distributions and averages for both current and total residence times were
calculated for several housing categories using the 1985 and 1987 Bureau of the Census
housing survey date. The total residence time distribution was estimated from current
residence time date by modeling the moving process (Israeli and Nelson, 1992). Israeli and
Nelson estimated the average total residence time for a household to be approximately 4.6
years or 1/6 of the expected life span (see Table 5-45). The maximal total residence time
that a given fraction of households will live in the same residence is presented
in Table 5-46. For example, only 5 percent of the individuals in the "All Households"
category will live in the same residence for 23 years and 95 percent will move in less than
23 years.

The authors note that the data presented are for the expected time a household will
stay in the same residence. The data do not predict the expected residence time for each
member of the household, which is generally expected to be smaller (Israeli and
Nelson, 1992). These values are more realistic estimates for the individual total residence
time, than the average time a household has been living at its current residence. The
expected total residence time for a household is consistently less than the average current
residence time. This is caused by greater weighting of short residence time when calculating
the average total residence time than when calculating the average current residence time
(Israeli and Nelson, 1992). When averaging total residence over a time interval, frequent
movers may appear several times, but when averaging current residence times, each
household appears only once (Israeli and Nelson, 1992). According to Israeli and Nelson,
the residence time distribution developed by the model is skewed and the median values are
considerably less than the means (T), which are less than the average current residence
times.
U.S. Bureau of the Census (1993) - American Housing Survey for the United States in
1991 - This survey is a national sample of 55,000 interviews in which collected data were
presented by owners, renters, black householder, and hispanic householder. The data
reflects the number of years a unit has been occupied and represent all occupied housing
units that the residents rented or owned, at the time of the survey.
The results of the survey pertaining to residence time of owner/renter occupied units
in the U.S. is presented in Table 5-47. Using the data in Table 5-47, the percentages of
householders living in houses for specified time ranges were determined and are presented in
Table 5-48. Based on the Bureau of the Census data in Table 5-47, the 50th percentile and
the 90th percentile values were calculated for the number of years lived in the householder's
current house. These values were calculated by apportioning the total sample size (93,147
households) to the indicated percentile associated with the applicable range of years lived in
current home. Assuming an even distribution within the appropriate range, the 50th and 90th
percentile values for years living in current home were determined to be 9.1 and 32.7 years,
respectively. These were then rounded to 9 and 33 years. Based on the above data, the

range of 9 to 33 years is assumed to best represent a central tendency estimate oTTength of
residence and upper percentile estimate of residence time, respectively.
A limitation associated with the above analysis is the assumption that there is an even
distribution within the different ranges. As a result, the 50th and 90th percentile values may
be biased.
Johnson and Capel (1992) - A Monte Carlo Approach to Simulating Residential
Occupancy Periods and it's Application to the General U.S. Population - Johnson and Capel
developed a methodology to estimate the distribution of the residential occupancy period
(ROP) in the national population. ROP denotes the time (years) between a person moving
into a residence and the time the person moves out or dies. The methodology uses a Monte
Carlo approach to simulate a distribution of ROP for 500,000 persons using data on
population, mobility, and mortality.
The methodology consists of six steps. The first step defines the population of
interest and categorizes them by location, gender, age, sex and race. Next the demographics
groups are selected and the fraction of the specified population that falls into each group is
developed using Bureau of the Census (BOC) data. A mobility table is developed based on
BOC data. This table provides the probability that a person with specified demographics did
not move during the previous year. The fifth step uses data on vital statistics published by
the National Center for Health Statistics and develops a mortality table which provides the
probability that individuals with specific demographic characteristics would die during the
upcoming year. As a final step, a computer based algorithm is used to apply a Monte Carlo
approach to a series of persons selected at random from the population being analyzed.
Table 5-49 presents the results for residential occupancy periods for the total
population and by gender. The estimated mean ROP for the total population is 11.7 years.
The distribution is skewed (Johnson and Capel, 1992): the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles
are 4, 9, and 16 years, respectively. The 90th, 95th, and 99th percentiles are 26, 33, and 47
years, respectively. The mean ROP for males is 11.1 years and 12.3 years for females, and
the median value is 8 years for males and 9 years for females.
Descriptive statistics for subgroups defined by current ages were also calculated.
These data, presented by gender, are shown in Table 5-50. The mean ROP increases from

age 3 to age 12 and there is a noticeable decrease at age 24. However, there is a steady
increase from age 24 through age 81.
There are a few biases within this methodology which have been noted by authors.
The probability of not moving is estimated as a function only of gender and age. The Monte
Carlo process assumes mat this probability is independent of (1) the calendar year to which it
is applied, and (2) to the past history of the person being simulated. These assumptions,
according to Johnson and Capel are not entirely correct. They believe that extreme values
are a function of sample size and will, for the most part, increase as the number of simulated
persons increases.
Lehman - Homeowners Relocating at Faster Pace - Lehman (1994) presents data
gathered by the Chicago Title and Trust Family Insurers. The data indicates that in 1993,
the average U.S. homeowners moved every 12 years. In 1992, homeowners moved every
13.4 years and in 1991, every 14.3 years. Data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census indicate
that 7 percent of the owner population moved in 1991. Based on this information, Lehman
has concluded that it would take 12 years for 100 percent of owners to move. According to
Lehman, Bill Harriett of the U.S. Bureau of the Census has been quoted to state that 14
years is a closer estimate for 100 percent of home owners to move. Other data presented in
the article state that homeowners in Virginia moved ever 11.1 years and in Maryland every
11.7 years. An advantage of this study is that it provides percentile data for the residential
occupancy period.

6.1. BACKGROUND
Consumer products may contain toxic or potentially toxic chemical constituents to which
humans may be exposed as a result of their use. Exposure to chemical constituents released
from consumer products can occur via ingestion, inhalation, and through dermal contact. This
chapter focuses on consumer products commonly used in homes: cleaning products, painting
products, and household products that contain solvents.
Three national surveys have been conducted by Westat (1987a, b, and c) that provide
usage data for household solvent products, household cleaning products, paint, and paint-related
products. The primary purpose of these surveys was to gather usage data needed to assess
exposure to consumers from chemicals in common household products. The data that can be
obtained from these studies are: frequency of use, duration of use, and amount used. For each
survey, participants were selected based on a random digit dialing (HDD) procedure. Using this
procedure, sample blocks of numbers that included residential telephone number (published, and
nonpublished) were made available within a certain exchange, and random telephone numbers
were dialed within those blocks of numbers. If a person in that particular household agreed to
participate, a questionnaire was mailed to the participant. To complete the questionnaires,
respondents were required to recall product usage behavior over the previous 12 months. A
follow-up telephone call was made to those respondents who did not respond to the
questionnaires within a 4-week period. If these respondents agreed to participate, the
questionnaire was administered to them over the telephone.
The Waksberg Method of RDD was used for all surveys. This method provides an
unbiased sample of households with telephones, with most of the households having the same
probability of selection (Westat, 1987a, b, c). The method was also designed to reduce the
number of nonproductive calls considering that a high proportion of nonworkmg and commercial
numbers occur in consecutive sequences (Westat, 1987a, b, c). Data obtained from these
surveys are summarized in the following sections. The reader is referred to Westat (1987a, b, c)
for brand names, more explanation of the statistical procedures, and data for protective measures
taken during use of these products.

6.2. CONSUMER PRODUCTS STUDIES
Westat - Household Solvent Products: A National Usage Survey - Westat (1987a)
surveyed 4,920 individuals (18 years of age or older) nationwide to determine consumer
exposure to common household products believed to contain methylene chloride or its substitutes
(trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, perchloroethylene, and 1,1,2-
trichlorotrifluoroethane). Survey questions included how often the products were used; when
they were last used; what was the amount of time spent using a product (per occasion or year)
and the time the respondent remained in the room after use; how much of a product was used
per occasion or year; and what protective measures were used (Westat, 1987a). Thirty-two
categories of common household products were included in the survey and are presented in
Table 6-1. Tables 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4 provide means, medians, and percentile rankings for
the following variables: frequency of use, exposure time, amount of use, and time exposed after
use.
An advantage of this study is that the random digit dialing procedure (Waksberg Method)
used in identifying participants for this survey enabled a diverse selection of a representative,
unbiased, sample of the U.S. population (Westat 1987a). Also, empricial data generated from
this study will provide more accurate calculations of human exposure to consumer household
products than estimates previously used. However, a limitation associated with this study is that
the data generated were based on recall behavior. Participants were asked to recall product
usage data from the previous 12 months. This may degrade the response accuracy of the
participants. Another limitation is that extrapolation of these data to long-term use patterns may
be difficult.
Westat - National Usage Survey of Household Cleaning Products - Westat (1987b)
collected use data from a nationwide survey to assess the magnitude of exposure of consumers
to various household cleaning products. One hundred ninety-three (193) households participated
-s •• • • ~
in the survey. A telephone interview was conducted to obtain data from the person who did the
majority of the cleaning in each household. Of those respondents, 83 percent were female, 16
percent were male, and the sex of the remaining 1 percent was not ascertained (Westat, 1987b).
A random digit dialing procedure, previously mentioned, was used to generate telephone
numbers. The survey was designed to generate data on the frequency of performing 14 different

frequently used; and the type of product (liquid, powder, aerosol or spray pump) used (Westat,
1987b). In addition, some demographic, product brand, and protective measure data were
requested.
The data are presented in Tables 6-5, 6-6, 6-7, 6-8, and 6-9. Table 6-5 presents the
mean and median total exposure time of use for each cleaning task and the product type
preferred for each task. The percentile rankings for the total time exposed to the products used
for 14 cleaning tasks are presented in Table 6-6. The mean and percentile rankings of the
frequency in performing each task are presented in Table 6-7. Table 6-8 shows the mean and
percentile rankings for exposure time per event of performing household tasks. The mean and
percentile rankings for total number of hours spent per year using the top 10 product groups are
presented in Table 6-9.
The methodology used to generate data in this survey and the survey reported by Westat
(1987a) is similar. Therefore, the same advantages and disadvantages associated with the Westat
(1987a) data also apply to this study.
Westat - National Household Survey of Interior Painters - Westat, (1987c) conducted a
study to obtain usage information for household painting. Painting and painting related products
generally contain chemicals that may be toxic. Therefore, consumer exposure to these chemicals
may be harmful. The survey involved 208 participants (households), and the person in each
household who did most of the interior painting during the last 12 months was interviewed over
the telephone. The random digit dialing procedure previously described was used to generate
sample blocks of telephone numbers. Questions were asked on frequency and time spent for
interior painting activities; the amount of paint used; and protective measures used. Fifty-three
percent of the primary painters in the households interviewed were male, 46 percent were
female, and the sex of the remaining 1 percent was not ascertained. Three types of painting
products were used in this study; latex paint, oil-based paint, and wood stains and varnishes.
Of the respondents, 94.7 percent used latex paint, 16.8 percent used oil-based paint, and 20.2
percent used wood stains and varnishes.
Date generated from this survey are summarized in Tables 6-10, 6-11, and 6-12. Table

for painting activity by paint type. Table 6-11 presents the mean and standard exposure time
for the painting activity per occasion for each paint type. A "painting occasion" is defined as
a time period from start to cleanup (Westat 1987c). Table 6-11 also presents the frequency and
percentile rankings of painting occasions per year. Table 6-12 presents the total amount of paint
used by interior painters.
The methodology used to generate data in this survey is similar to the methodology used
in the survey reported by Westat (1987a). Therefore, the same advantages and disadvantages
associated with the Westat (1987a) data also apply to this study.
6.3. MECOMMENDATIONS
In order to estimate consumer exposure to household products, several types of
information are needed for the exposure equation. The information needed include frequency
and duration of use, amount of product used, percent weight of the chemical found in the
product, and for dermal exposure, the amount of the solution on the sMn after exposure. The
studies of Westat (1987a, b, and c) provide information on amount, duration, and frequency of
use of household consumer products. The frequency and duration of use and amount of product
used for some household products can be obtained from Tables 6-1 through 6-10. Exposure to
chemicals present in common household products can be estimated by utilizing these data
presented in these tables and the appropriate exposure equation. It should be noted that if these
data are used to model indoor air concentrations, the values for time of use, time exposed after
use, and frequency in the indoor air, should be the same values used in the dose equation for
frequency and contact time for a given individual.

7.1 INTRODUCTION
Within a residence, exposures occur not only by the inhalation route, but also by the
ingestion and dermal routes. The factors needed to assess many aspects of these last two
routes (e.g., food consumption, product use information, etc.) are contained in other
chapters. The role of human activity patterns is discussed hi Chapter 5, and factors related
to product use are summarized in Chapter 6. The purpose of this chapter is to provide
information on various residential factors that are needed to assess inhalation exposures—
whether those exposures occur alone or in conjunction with dermal and/or ingestion
exposures.
Exposure assessments to residential settings require information to define: (1) the
availability of the chemical(s) of concern at a given place within the building, (2) the nature
and degree of human presence at that location and time, and (3) certain characteristics of the
residence. Very often, indoor exposure assessments must be undertaken with little or no
direct knowledge of the environmental abundance of the chemical(s) of concern and only
sketchy information to define the human presence. As a consequence, such exposure
assessments must be assembled from a mix of observational, physical and chemical
measurement data coupled to "theoretical and empirical assumptions to fill information gaps.
In residential exposure scenarios, definition of source-receptor relationships can take on
special complexities because: (1) chemical concentrations can vary over time due to
building-specific as well as chemical- and source-specific factors, (2) the human who incurs
the exposure very often exerts some influence over these factors (particularly for the source),
(3) for some types of indoor sources, room-to-room differences in concentration are likely to
prevail, and (4) people tend to move from room to room and to come and go from the
exposure scene.
The chemical mass balance of the house provides a deterministic framework for
considering the interactions among sources and fates for each chemical of concern (Figure
7-1). The fate, in particular, tells the exposure analyst whether concerns may arise from the
perspectives of inhalation, dermal, or ingestion exposure, or some combination thereof. For

example, use of a tod surface cleaner with volatile constituents can result in inhalation of
chemicals that volatilize during/after application as well as dermal contact in the course of
applying the cleaner. For a chemical conveyed by the residential water supply, both
inhalation and dermal exposure can occur while showering, in addition to direct ingestion
when drinking the water.
Hie extent of human exposure by these various routes depends on a number of
factors. Some residential exposure factors are related to features of the building itself, such
as total and room-specific volumes, surface areas, and airflow rates. Other factors are
related to human presence, such as location/activity patterns and use of various consumer
products that can release chemicals of concern. The focus of this chapter is on the
characteristics of the residence. Residential construction and finishing materials and interior
furnishings also are of interest because they can emit or absorb some chemicals of concern,
but these factors generally are beyond the current scope of this document.
The remainder of this chapter provides information on various residential factors that
can affect human exposure while indoors. Section 7.2 summarizes existing data on whole-
house and room-specific volumes. Section 7.3 lists indoor-outdoor air exchange rates and
provides a basis for defining airflows within a residence that affect chemical transport.
Section 7.4 provides information on one type of indoor source—the water supply—whose
configuration is defined by the residence rather than the occupant. For completeness, factors
related to occupant uses of the water are also presented.
7.2 INDOOR VOLUMES
7.2.1 Volumes of Residences
Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) - No measurement surveys have been
conducted to directly evaluate the range and distribution of residential volumes. Related
data, however, are regularly collected through the U.S. Department of Energy's Residential
Energy Consumption Survey (USDOE 1992). In addition to collecting information on energy
use, this triennial survey collects data on housing characteristics, including direct
measurements of total and heated floorspace for buildings visited by survey specialists. For
a recent survey (1990), a statistical sample of over 5000 residences was surveyed,

representing 94 million households nationwide. Table 7-1 summarizes indoor volumes
estimated from this survey for leading categories of housing; these volumes were derived
from the floorspace data contained in the USDOE report using an assumed ceiling height of 8
ft (2.44 m).
The data in Table 7-1 also indicate a relationship between residential volume and both
housing type and ownership. The predominant housing type-single-family detached home-
also has the largest volume. Multifamily units and mobile homes have volumes averaging
about half that of single-family detached homes, with single-family attached homes about
halfway between these extremes. Within each category of housing type, owner-occupied
residences average about 50 percent greater volume than rental units. The owner-occupied
residences collectively account for two-thirds of the U.S. housing stock.
The relationship of other factors—household size and structure age—to residential
volumes is shown in Table 7-2. The relationship with household size is of particular interest
for purposes of exposure assessment; for example, one-person households would not include
children. The data indicate that multi-person households occupy residences with volumes
averaging about 50 percent greater than residences occupied by single-person households.
Data on year of construction indicate a slight decrease in residential volumes between 1950
and 1980, followed by an increasing trend over the next decade.
7.2.2 Room Volumes and Surface Areas
Volumes and Areas of Research Houses - Room volumes and surface areas have not
been well characterized for the U.S. housing stock. However, there is information on
several well-characterized houses that have been used for energy conservation and indoor air
quality research. Four examples are given in Table 7-3; all houses were built in the late
1970s or early 1980s. Two of the houses—a two-story style and a ranch style—have been
used by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly National Bureau
of Standards) for energy conservation and air quality research. The buildings were specified
by NIST as "being typical of modern residential construction in 1977" (Emmerich and
Persily 1994). A ranch style house used by EPA for indoor air quality research (Tichenor et
al. 1990), like that specified by NIST, consists of a single story, and the two houses have

similar volumes, in the range of 250 to 300 m3. A two-story split-foyer house used by
GEOMET (Koontz and Nagda 1989) for air quality and energy research has a habitable
volume of 311 m3. The house also includes an integral garage in the lower level; if the
option for habitable space had been chosen instead of the garage, then the habitable volume
would have been virtually identical to that of the two-story NIST residence (420 m3). Thus,
both the two-story residences have volumes very close to the national average (408 m3)
previously shown in Table 7-1.
Volumes of specific rooms are a function of both total house volume and interior
design/layout. Across the four structures, the bedroom volumes varies by a factor of three,
from 21 m3 to 69 m3, averaging 35 m3. Bathroom volumes vary by a factor of two, from
8 m3 to 15 m3, averaging 11 m3. The range of hallway volumes across these houses is quite
narrow, from 11 m3 to 13 m3. Kitchen and living room volumes were not reported
separately for two of the four houses because they are part of a series of interconnected
rooms, but the cases where they were reported separately indicate a kitchen volume on the
order of 30 m3 and living room volume near 60 m3. The surface-to-volume ratio for the
floor (and, by analogy, the ceiling) is consistently 0.41 for these residences because a ceiling
height of 8 feet (2.44 meters) was assumed in computing the volumes. The surface-to-
volume ratio for walls varies from about 0.5 for open and interconnected areas (e.g.,
kitchen/dining room/living room) to about 2.0 for smaller enclosed areas such as closets,
bathrooms, and hallways.
Surface Materials - Table 7-4 shows examples of assumed amounts (Tucker 1991) of
selected products or materials used in constructing or finishing residential surfaces. Products
used for floor surfaces include adhesive, varnish and wood stain, and materials used for
walls include paneling, gypsum board, and wallpaper. Particleboard and chipboard most
likely would be used for interior furnishings such as cabinets or shelves, but also could be
used for decking or underlayment.

7.3 AIRFLOWS
7.3.1 Background
Major air transport pathways for airborne substances in residences include the
following:
• Air exchange—Air leakage through windows, doorways, intakes and exhausts,
and "adventitious openings" (i.e., cracks and seams) that combine to form the
leakage configuration of the building envelope plus natural and mechanical
ventilation;
• Interzonal airflows—Transport through doorways, ductwork, and service
chaseways that interconnect rooms or zones within a building; and
• Local circulation—Convective and adjective air circulation and mixing within a
room or within a zone.
The distribution of airflows across the building envelope that contribute to air
exchange and the interzonal airflows along interior flowpaths is determined by the interior
pressure distribution. The forces causing the airflows are temperature differences, the
actions of wind, and mechanical ventilation systems. Basic concepts have been reviewed by
ASHRAE (1993). Indoor-outdoor and room-to-room temperature differences create density
differences that help determine basic patterns of air motion. During the heating season,
wanner indoor air tends to rise to exit the building at upper levels by stack action. Exiting
air is replaced at lower levels by an influx of colder outdoor air. During the cooling season,
this pattern is reversed: stack forces during the cooling season are generally not as strong as
in the heating season because the indoor-outdoor temperature differences are not pronounced.
The position of the neutral pressure level (i.e., the point where indoor-outdoor
pressures are equal) depends on the leakage configuration of the building envelope. The
stack effect arising from indoor-outdoor temperature differences is also influenced by the
partitioning of the building interior. When there is free communication between floors or
stories, the building behaves as a single volume affected by a generally rising current during
the heating season and a generally falling current during the cooling season. When vertical
communication is restricted, each level essentially becomes an independent zone. As the
7-10

wind flows past a building, regions of positive and negative pressure aze created; positive
pressures induce an influx of air, whereas negative pressures induce an outflow. Wind
effects and stack effects combine to determine a net inflow or outflow.
The final element of indoor transport involves the actions of mechanical ventilation
systems that circulate indoor air through the use of fans. Mechanical ventilation systems
may be connected to heating/cooling systems that, depending on the type of building,
recirculate thermally treated indoor air or a mixture of fresh air and recirculated air.
Mechanical systems also may be solely dedicated to exhausting air from a designated area, as
with some kitchen range hoods and bath exhausts, or to recirculating air in designated areas
as with a room fan. Local air circulation also is influenced by the movement of people and
the operation of local heat sources.
7.3.2 Air Exchange
Air exchange is the balanced flow into and out of the building, and is composed of
three processes: (1) infiltration — air leakage through random cracks, interstices and other
unintentional openings in the building envelope; (2) natural ventilation — airflows through
open windows, doors, and other designed openings in the building envelope; and (3) forced
or mechanical ventilation — controlled air movement driven by fans. For nearly all indoor
exposure scenarios, air exchange is treated as the principal means of diluting indoor
concentrations because outdoor levels are generally assumed to be zero. The air exchange
rate is generally expressed in terms of air changes per hour (ACH, with units of h"1), the
ratio of the airflow (m3 h"1) to the volume (m3).
Measurements with Perfluorocarbon Tracers - No measurement surveys have been
conducted to directly evaluate the range and distribution of residential air exchange rates.
Although a significant number of air exchange measurements have been carried out over the
years, the diversity of protocols and study objectives make the formation of a representative
database problematic. Since the early 1980s, however, an inexpensive perfluorocarbon tracer
(PFT) technique (Dietz et al. 1986) has been used to measure time-averaged air exchange
and interzonal airflows in more than 4,000 occupied residences using essentially similar

[ CIT7J
protocols. These measurement results have been compiled to allow various researchers to
access the data (Versar 1990).
While the residences represented in the PFT database do not constitute a random
sample of those across the United States, they nonetheless represent a compilation of homes
visited in the course of about 100 separate field-research projects by various organizations,
some of which involved random sampling and some of which involved judgmental or
fortuitous sampling. Further analysis on the assembled data (Koontz and Rector 1995)
indicate that the 10th percentile value of 0.18 ACH would be appropriate as a conservative
estimator for air exchange in residential settings, and that a value of 0.45 ACH would be
appropriate when a typical air exchange rate is desired. Statistical summaries of the data are
presented in
Table 7-5.
In applying conservative or typical values of air exchange rates it is important to
realize the limitations of the underlying data base. Although the estimates are based on
thousands of measurements, the residences represented in the database are not a random
sample of the United States housing stock. The sample population is not balanced in terms
of geography or time of year. Statistical techniques were applied to compensate for some of
these imbalances. Despite such limitations, the estimates in Table 7-5 are believed to
represent the best available information on the distribution of air exchange rates across
United States residences throughout the year.
Earlier Studies - Prior to the Koontz and Rector (1993) study, Nazaroff et al. (1987)
aggregated the data from two earlier tracer-gas decay studies that, at the time they were
conducted, were the largest U.S. studies to include air exchange measurements. The first
(Grot and Clark 1981) was conducted in 255 dwellings occupied by low-income families in
14 different cities. The geometric mean ± standard deviation for the air exchange
measurements in these homes, with a median house age of 45 years, was 0.90 ± 2.13 ACH.
The second study (Grimsrud et al. 1983) involved 312 newer residences, with a median age
of less than 10 years. Based on measurements taken during the heating season, the
geometric mean ± standard deviation for these homes was 0.53 ± 1.71 ACH. Based on an
aggregation of the two distributions with proportional weighting by the respective number of

7.3.3 Interzonal Airflows
Background - Residential structures consist of a number of rooms that may be
connected horizontally, vertically, or both horizontally and vertically. With some exceptions,
the major variations in general residential layouts arise from the location of bedrooms
relative to the area containing the kitchen, living room, and dining room (Rector and
Koontz 1987). As illustrated in Figure 7-2, bedrooms usually are located either on the same
floor as the kitchen or on a floor that is partly or completely above the kitchen. In some
residences there is a basement below the kitchen floor, usually containing a recreation or
family room, other special purpose rooms, and sometimes additional bedrooms. Before
considering residential structures as a detailed network of rooms, it is convenient to divide
mem into one or more zones. At a minimum, each floor is defined as a separate zone. For
indoor air exposure assessments, further divisions are sometimes made within a floor,
depending on (1) locations of specific contaminant sources and (2) the presumed degree of
air communication among areas with and without sources.
Defining the airflow balance for a multiple-zone exposure scenario rapidly increases
the information requirements as rooms or zones are added. As depicted in Figure 7-3, a
single zone system (considering the entire building as a single well-mixed volume) requires
only two flows to define air exchange. Further, because air exchange is balanced flow (air
does not "pile up" in the building, nor is a vacuum formed), only one number — the air
exchange rate — is needed. With two zones, six airflows are needed to accommodate
interzonal airflows plus air exchange; with three zones, twelve airflows are required. In
some cases, the complexity can be reduced using judicious (if not convenient) assumptions.
Interzonal airflows connecting nonadjacent rooms can be set to zero, for example, if flow
pathways do not exist. Symmetry also can be applied to the system by assuming that each
flow pair is balanced.
Relationship to House Volume and Air Exchange - A heuristic relationship between
interzonal airflows and house volume and air exchange was developed by Koontz and Rector

(1995) using selected cases from the PFT database. Two situations werelnVesfipted:~~
(1) bedrooms, for which communication with the remainder of the house may be restricted
by the presence of doorways; and (2) the kitchen, which generally has a more open
communication path with adjacent areas. The PFT database contained approximately 1000
cases where researchers labeled a bedroom or the kitchen as separate zones. These cases
were analyzed by normalizing the average interzonal airflows (Qz, m3 h*1) into and out of the
zone by the volume (V, m3) of the house (i.e., dividing the airflows by the house (volume)
and regressing the normalized airflows against the whole-house air exchange rate. This
averaging also served to symmetrically balance each set of inflow-outflow pairs. For the
bedroom cases, the relationship between the normalized interzonal airflow (Q,, m3 h'1 m"3)
and air exchange rate (N, h"1) was: Q
Qi = £2 = 0.078 + 0.31 N CD
" v
where:
N = Whole-house air exchange rate
Vz =* Volume of house
For the kitchen cases, relationship between the normalized internal airflow and the air
exchange rate was:
Qam$Z =0.046 +0.39/V <2)
Example Calculations - Based on typical values and relationships given above,
characteristic airflows can be postulated for two-zone situations conceptualized as "bedroom
versus remainder of the house" and "living room versus remainder of the house." For
example, using Equation (1) and assuming a whole-house volume of 408 m3 (Table 7-1), an
average bedroom volume of 35 m3 (Table 7-3), and an air exchange rate of 0.45 h'1 (Table
7-5), the estimated interzonal airflow (Q*) for the bedroom would be (0.078 + 0.31 x 0.45
h'1) x 408 m3, or 88.7 m3 h'1. The living room, like the kitchen, is assumed to have freer

-------

air communication with the rest of the house. Using Equation (2) above, the estimated
interzonal airflow for the living room would be (0.046 + 0.39 x 0.45 hf1) x 408 m3, or 90.4
m3 h"1. Multiplying the zone-specific volumes by the air exchange rate gives their respective
indoor-outdoor airflow rates. For example, the living room volume of 60 m3, multiplied by
0.45 h"1, gives an indoor-outdoor airflow rate of 27.0 m3 for the living room. Hie volumes
and estimated airflows for these situations are summarized in Figure 7-4.
1 ,i
One cautionary note is in order when using the heuristic relationships described
above. Some or many of the researchers contributing measurements to the PFT database
used for the analysis may have defined a zone as a group of adjacent bedrooms, rather than
an individual bedroom. If so, then the interzonal airflow rate for an individual bedroom is
likely to be lower than indicated by the above relationship. Similarly, the living room,
which generally has open communication with the rest of the house like the kitchen but also
has a larger volume than the kitchen, might be expected to have a higher interzonal airflow
rate than indicated by the above relationship.
7.3.4 Variability Within Zones
Many exposure measurements are predicated on the assumption of uniform mixing
within a room or zone of a house. Recent experimental work by Baughman et al. (1994)
indicates that, for an instantaneous release from a point source in a room, fairly complete
mixing is achieved within 10 minutes when convective flow is induced by solar radiation but
up to 100 minutes is required under quiescent (nearly isothermal) conditions. Similar
findings might be expected for a continuously emitting area source such as carpeting or a
freshly painted wall.
Experiments in a Research House - Hie situation changes, however, if a human
invokes a point source for a more prolonged period and remains in the immediate vicinity of
that source. A series of experiments conducted by GEOMET (1989) for the USEPA
involved controlled point-source releases of carbon monoxide (CO), each for a duration of 30
minutes, on several occasions in both the master bedroom and the kitchen. A "breathing-
zone" monitoring array was constructed using eight miniaturized continuous CO monitors
arranged at the corners of a cube centered on the release point, with each detector located

approximately 0.4 m from the release point. Monitoring was also conducted elsewhere in the
release rooms and in the remainder of the house. Although a fairly uniform mixing was
achieved soon after the release was completed, during the release the breathing-zone
concentrations were as much as 2 to 3 times higher for the bedroom case (with the central air
conditioner off) and as much as 10 times higher for the kitchen case (again with the air
conditioner off). Because the kitchen has freer communication with the remainder of the
house, a more distinct concentration gradient between the breathing zone and remainder of
the kitchen zone was apparent.
Experiments in an Environmental Chamber - A more recent USEPA-sponsored
investigation by Furtaw et al. (1994) involved a series of experiments in a controlled-
environment room-sized chamber to study spatial concentration gradients around a continuous
point source. Sulfur hexafluoride (SFg) tracer gas was used to simulate the point source.
SF6 was sampled at the wearer's breathing zone, using a sampling tube connected to a
harness, and at numerous points throughout the chamber. In close proximity (about 0.4 m)
to the source, the average monitored concentration was found to exceed concentrations
several meters away by a factor that varies inversely with the ventilation intensity in the
room. At typical room ventilation rates, the ratio of source-proximate to slightly-removed
concentration was on the order of 2:1. Of the cases studied by GEOMET, this chamber
study would most closely resemble the bedroom case (i.e., limited communication with other
rooms), for which a similar ratio was obtained.
7.4 WATER SUPPLY AND USE
7.4.1 Background
As noted in the introduction to this chapter, the residential water supply may convey
certain chemicals to which occupants can be exposed through ingestion, dermal contact, or
inhalation. Among indoor water uses, showering, bathing and handwashing of dishes or
clothes provide the primary opportunities for dermal exposure. Virtually all indoor water
uses will result in some volatilization of chemicals, leading to inhalation exposure.
The exposure potential for a given situation will depend on the source of water, the
types and extents of water uses, and the extent of volatilization of specific chemicals.

According to the results of the 1987 Annual Housing Survey (U.srBureau 6TTfie~Censas
1992), 84.7% of U.S. housing units receive water from a public system or private company
(as opposed to a well). Across the four major regions defined by the U.S. Census Bureau
(Northeast, South, Midwest, and West), the percentage varies from 82.5 in the Midwest
region to 93.2 in the West region (the Northeast and South regions both are very close to the
national percentage). Water use is discussed separately below.
7.4.2 Water Use
The primary types of water use indoors can be classified as showering/bathing, toilet
use, clothes washing, dishwashing, and faucet use (e.g., for drinking, cooking, general
cleaning, or washing hands). Substantial information on water use has been collected in
California households by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD
1991) and by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD 1992). An earlier study by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (USDHUD 1984) monitored water
use in 200 households over a 20-month period. The household selection process for this
study was not random; it involved volunteers from water companies and engineering
organizations, most of which were located in large metropolitan areas. Nazaroff and Nero
(1988) also assembled the results of several smaller surveys, typically involving between 5
and SO households each.
A common feature of the various studies cited above is that the results were all
reported in gallons per capita per day (gcd), or hi units that could be easily converted to gcd.
Most studies also provided estimates by type of use—shower/bath, toilet, laundry,
dishwashing, and other (e.g., faucets). A summary of the various study results is provided
in Table 7-6. There is generally about a threefold variation across studies for total in-house
water use as well as each type of use. Central values for total use, obtained by taking the
mean and median across the studies for each type of water use and then summing these
means/medians across uses, are listed at the bottom of the table. The means and medians
were summed across types of uses to obtain the mean for all uses combined because only a
subset of the studies reported values for other uses.

8. ANALYSIS OF UNCERTAINTIES
DRAFT
DO NOT QUOTE OR
CITE
Previous chapters have discussed exposure factors and algorithms for estimating
exposure. Exposure factor values can be used to obtain a range of exposure estimates such
as average exposure estimates, high-end estimates, and bounding estimates. This section
discusses methods that can be used to evaluate and present the uncertainty associated with
exposure estimates.
According to U.S. EPA (1992), uncertainty characterization and uncertainty
assessment are two ways of describing uncertainty that may have different degrees of
sophistication. Uncertainty characterization usually involves a qualitative discussion of the
thought processes used to select or reject specific data, estimates, scenarios, etc. Uncertainty
assessment is a more quantitative process that may range from simpler measures (i.e.,
ranges) and simpler analytical techniques (i.e., sensitivity analysis) to more complex
measures and techniques. Its goal is to provide decision makers with information concerning
the quality of an assessment, including the potential variability in the estimated exposures,
major data gaps, and the effect these data gaps have on the exposure estimates developed.
Uncertainty analysis allows the user or decision maker to better evaluate the assessment in
the context of available data and assumptions. Thus, the decision making process can
account for data integrity and completeness. The following subsections briefly describe
procedures for analyzing and presenting the uncertainties in exposure assessments.
8.1. TYPES OF UNCERTAINTY
Uncertainty in exposure assessment can be classified into three broad categories (U.S.
EPA, 1992):
1. Uncertainty regarding missing or incomplete information needed to fully define
exposure and dose (Scenario Uncertainty).
2. Uncertainty regarding some parameter (Parameter Uncertainty).
3. Uncertainty regarding gaps in scientific theory required to make predictions on
the basis of casual inferences (Model Uncertainty).

Exposure assessments often are developed in a phased approach. The initial phase
usually screens the scenarios that are not expected to pose much risk to eliminate them from
more detailed, resource-intensive review. These often represent exposures that would fall on
or beyond the high-end of the expected exposure distribution. Because screening-level
analyses are usually included in the final exposure assessment, the final document may
contain scenarios that differ quite markedly in sophistication, date quality, and amenability to
quantitative expressions of uncertainty.
Identification of the sources of uncertainty in an exposure assessment is the first step
in determining how to reduce that uncertainty. The types of uncertainty mentioned above
can be further defined by examining their principal causes. The following sections discuss
sources, characterization, and analytical methods.
8.1.1. Scenario Uncertainty
The sources of scenario uncertainty include descriptive errors, aggregation errors,
errors in professional judgment, and incomplete analysis.
Descriptive errors include information errors such as the current producers of the
chemical and its industrial, commercial, and consumer uses. Information of this type is the
foundation for fate-and-transport analysis and the eventual development of exposure
pathways, scenarios, exposed populations, and exposure estimates.
Aggregation errors arise as a result of lumping approximations. Included among
these are assumptions of homogeneous populations, and spatial and temporal approximations
such as assuming steady-state conditions or using a 2-dimensional mathematical model to
represent a 3-dimensional aquifer.
Professional judgment comes into play in virtually every aspect of the exposure
assessment process, including defining appropriate exposure scenarios, selecting
environmental fate models, determining representative environmental conditions, etc.
Judgment errors can be the result of limited experience, or can arise when the assessor has
difficulty separating opinion from fact. Errors in professional judgment are also a source of
uncertainty.

A potentially serious source of uncertainty in exposure assessments arises Ironi
incomplete analysis. For example, the exposure assessor may overlook an important
exposure pathway due to lack of Information regarding the use of a chemical in a consumer
product. Although this source of uncertainty is essentially unquantifiable, it should not be
ignored. At a minimum, the assessor should describe the rationale for excluding particular
exposure scenarios; characterize the uncertainty in these decisions as high, medium, or low;
and state whether they were based on data, analogy, or professional judgment. Where
uncertainty is high, a sensitivity analysis can be used to establish credible upper Emits on
exposure by way of a series of "What if. . . ?" questions.
The uncertainty associated with non-numerical assumptions (such as the assessment's
direction and scope) is generally characterized in a qualitative discussion of the rationale for
selecting specific scenarios.
8.1.2. Parameter Uncertainty
Sources of parameter uncertainty include measurement error, sampling error,
variability, and use of generic or surrogate data. Measurement error may be random or
systematic. Random error results from imprecise measurements. Systematic error is a bias
or tendency to measure something other than what was intended.
Sampling error tends to reduce sample representativeness. The purpose of sampling
is to measure some subset of a population to make an inference about the entire group. If
the exposure assessment uses data that were generated for another purpose, such consumer
product preference surveys or compliance monitoring surveys, uncertainty will arise if the
data do not represent the exposure scenario being analyzed.
The inherent variability in environmental and exposure-related parameters is a major
source of uncertainty. For example, meteorological and hydrological conditions change
seasonally at a given location, soil characteristics exhibit large spatial variability, and human
activity patterns depend on the age, sex, and geographic location of the population.
Generic or surrogate data ace commonly used when site-specific data are not
available. Examples include standard emission factors for industrial processes, generalized
descriptions of environmental settings, and data pertaining to structurally-related chemicals as

surrogates for the chemical of interest Since surrogate data introduce additional uncertainty,
they should be avoided if actual data can be obtained.
Several approaches can be used to characterize uncertainty in parameter values.
When uncertainty is high, the assessor may use bounding estimates of parameter ranges.
Another method describes the range for each parameter including the lower- and upper-bound
and "best estimate" values determined by available data or professional judgement.
Sometimes the parameter range can be described with a probabilistic distribution. The
appropriate characterization depends on several factors, including whether sensitivity analysis
indicates that the results are significantly affected by variations within the range.
When a single parameter profoundly influences exposure estimates, the assessor
should develop a probabilistic description of its range. If there are enough data to support
their use, standard statistical methods are preferred. If the data are inadequate, expert
judgment can be used to generate a subjective probabilistic representation. Expert judgments
should be developed in a consistent, well-documented manner. Morgan et al. (1979 and
1984) and Bish (1988) describe techniques to solicit expert judgment.
Most approaches for analyzing uncertainty examine how uncertainty in parameter
values translates into overall uncertainty in the assessment. Details may be found in reviews
such as Cox and Baybutt (1981), Whitmore (1985), Mman and Helton (1988), Seller (1987),
and Rish and Marnicio (1988). These approaches can generally be described (in order of
increasing complexity and data needs) as: (1) sensitivity analysis, (2) analytical uncertainty
propagation, (3) probabilistic uncertainty analysis, or (4) classical statistical methods.
Sensitivity analysis is the process of changing one variable while leaving the others
constant to determine its effect on the output. This procedure fixes each uncertain quantity at
its credible lower and upper bounds (holding all others at their medians) and computes the
results of each combination of values. Hie results identify the variables that have the
greatest effect on exposure and help focus further information-gathering efforts. However,
they do not indicate the probability of a variable being at any point within its range;
therefore, this approach is most useful at the screening level to determine the need and
direction of further analyses.

Analytical uncertainty propagation examines how uncertainty in individual parameters
affects the overall uncertainty of the exposure assessment. The uncertainties associated with
various parameters may propagate through a model very differently, even if they have
approximately the same uncertainty. Some parameters are more important than others, and
the model should be designed to account for their relative sensitivity. Since uncertainty
propagation is a function of both the data and the model structure, this procedure evaluates
both input variances and model sensitivity. Application of this approach to exposure
assessment requires explicit mathematical expressions of exposure, estimates of variance for
each variable of interest, and the ability to obtain a mathematical (analytical or numerical)
derivative of the exposure equation.
Although uncertainty propagation is a powerful tool, it should be applied with
caution: It is difficult to generate and solve the equations for the sensitivity coefficients.
The technique is most accurate for linear equations, so any departure from linearity must be
carefully evaluated. In addition, assumptions such as variable independence and error
normality must be verified. Finally, the information to support required parameter variance
estimates may not be readily available.
The most common example of probabilistic uncertainty analysis is the Monte Carlo
method. This technique assigns a probability density function to each parameter, then
randomly selects values from these distributions and inserts them into the exposure equation.
Repeated calculations produce a distribution of predicted values that reflects the overall
uncertainty in the inputs to the calculation.
The principal advantage of the Monte Carlo method is its very general applicability.
There is no restriction on the form of the input distributions or the relationship between input
and output, and computations are straightforward. However, Monte Carlo analysis does
have its disadvantages: The exposure assessor should only consider using it when there are
credible distribution data (or ranges) for most key variables. Even if these distributions are
known, it may not be necessary to apply this technique. For example, if only average
exposure values are needed, they can be computed as accurately by using average values for
each input parameter. In addition, it is not necessary to use this technique if a bounding
exposure estimates indicates that the particular pathway or chemical being assessed does not

present a significant risk. Also, it is somewhat cumbersome to assess the sensitivity of the
results to input distributions: Changing the distribution of only one parameter requires
rerunning the entire calculation several hundreds or thousands of times. Monte Carlo
analysis does not tell the assessor which variables contribute the most to overall uncertainty,
so it does not identify effective ways to reduce uncertainty. Finally, Monte Carlo analysis
assumes that the distributions of each variable are independent. Any dependencies among
variables need to be considered in the analysis.
Classical statistical methods can be used to analyze uncertainty in measured
exposures. Given a data set of measured exposure values for a series of individuals, the
population distribution may be estimated directly, provided that the sample design captures a
representative sample. Measured exposure values can also be used to directly compute
confidence intervals for percentiles of the exposure distribution (ACS, 1989). When the
exposure distribution is estimated from measured exposures for a probability sample of
population members, confidence interval estimates for percentiles of the exposure distribution
are the primary uncertainty characterization. Data collection, survey design, and the
accuracy and precision of measurement techniques should also be discussed.
Often the observed exposure distribution is skewed because many points within the
sample distribution fall at or below the detection limit, or because few points fall at the upper
end of the distribution. Fitting the data to a distribution type can be problematic in these
situations because (1) there is no way to determine the distribution of values below the
detection limit and (2) data are usually scant in low-probability areas (such as upper-end
tails) where numerical values may vary widely. Thus, for many data sets, means and
standard deviations may be good approximations, but the tails of the distribution will be
much less well-characterized. For data sets where sampling is still practical, the statistical
population may be stratified in order to oversample the tail and increase the precision and
confidence in that portion of the distribution.

selection of conceptual and mathematical models. This discussion should address their

verification and validation status, how well they represent the situation being assessed (e.g.,
average or high-end estimates), and any plausible alternatives in terms of their acceptance by
the scientific community.
Relationship and modeling errors are the primary sources of model uncertainty.
Relationship errors include flaws in environmental fate models and poor correlations between
chemical properties or between structure and reactivity. Even though performance statistics
for test chemicals may be available and can guide the selection process, the exposure
assessor must select the methodology most appropriate to the goals of the assessment.
Modeling errors arise because models are simplified representations of reality. Even
after the exposure assessor has selected the most appropriate model, he or she still faces the
question of how well the model represents actual conditions. This question is compounded
by the overlap between modeling uncertainties and other uncertainties (e.g., natural
variability in environmental inputs, model representativeness, aggregation errors). The
dilemma facing exposure assessors is that many existing models (particularly the very
complex ones) and the hypotheses contained within them cannot be fully tested (Beck, 1987),
although certain components of the model may be testable. Even if a model has been
validated under a particular set of conditions, its application in cases beyond the test system
will introduce uncertainty.
A variety of approaches can be used to quantitatively characterize the uncertainty
associated with model constructs. One approach uses different modeling formulations
(including the preferred and plausible alternatives) and assumes that the range of outputs
represents the range of uncertainty. This strategy is most useful when available data do not
support any "best" approach, or when a model must be used to extrapolate beyond the
conditions for which it was designed.
Where the data base is sufficient, the exposure assessor should characterize the
uncertainty in the selected model by describing the validation and verification efforts. The
validation process compares the performance of the model to actual observations under
situations representative of those being assessed. Bums (1985) discusses approaches for
model validation. The verification process confirms that the model computer code produces

8.2. PRESENTATION OF UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS RESULTS
Comprehensive qualitative analysis and rigorous quantitative analysis are of little
value for use in the decision-making process, if their results are not clearly presented. To
clarify, it should be emphasized that variability (the receipt of different levels of exposure by
different individuals) is being distinguished from uncertainty (the lack of knowledge about the
correct value for a specific exposure measure or estimate). Most of the data that have been
presented in this document deal with variability directly. The uncertainty of the exposure
factor data present is discussed qualitatively by describing the limitations and assumptions of
each study or data set. Associated with each exposure estimate, will be assumptions about
the setting, chemical, population characteristics, and how contact with the chemical occurs
through the various exposure routes and pathways. The exposure assessor will have to
examine many sources of information that bear either directly or indirectly on these
categories. In addition, the assessor will be required to make many decisions regarding the
use of existing information in constructing scenarios and setting up the exposure equations.
It is not sufficient to merely present the results of these many decisions using different
exposure descriptors. A discussion must be included describing key assumptions and
parameters which have the greatest impact on the exposure estimate. The exposure assessor
should strive to address questions such as:
• What is the basis or rationale for selecting these assumptions/parameters such
as data, modeling, scientific judgment, Agency policy, "what if*
considerations, etc.?
• What is the range or variability of the key parameters? How were the
parameter values selected for use in the assessment? Were average, mean, or
upper-percentile values chosen? If other choices had been made, how would
the results have differed? -
• What is the assessor's confidence (including qualitative confidence aspects) in
the key parameters and the overall assessment? What are the quality and the
extent of the data base supporting the selection of the chosen values?

In presenting the scenario results, the assessor should strive for a balanced and impartial
treatment of the evidence bearing on the conclusions with the key assumptions highlighted.
For these key assumptions, one should cite data sources and explain any adjustments of the
data.
Although assessors have always used descriptors to communicate the kind of scenario
being addressed, the 1992 Exposure Guidelines establish clear quantitative definitions for
these risk descriptors. These definitions were established to ensure that consistent
terminology is used throughout the Agency. The risk descriptors defined in the Guidelines
include descriptors of individual risk and population risk. Individual risk descriptors are
intended to address questions dealing with risks borne by individuals within a population,
including not only measures of central tendency (e.g., average or median), but also those
risks at the high end of the distribution. Population risk descriptors refer to an assessment of
the extent of harm to the population being addressed. It can be either an estimate of the
number of cases of a particular effect that might occur in a population (or population
segment), or a description of what fraction of the population receives exposures, doses, or
risks greater than a specified value. The data presented in the Exposure Factors Handbook is
one of the tools available to exposure assessors to construct the various risk descriptors.
