Addressing thousands of chemicals requires
"new approach methodologies" (NAMs*):
1.	High throughput hazard characterization
(Dix et al., 2007, Collins et al., 2008)
2.	High throughput exposure forecasts
(Wambaugh et al., 2013, 2014)

• IVIVE-PK/TK (Pharmacokinetics/Toxicokinetics):
•	Fate of molecules/chemicals in body
•	Considers absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME)
•	Uses empirical PK and physiologically-based (PBPK) modeling
IVIVE-PD/TD (Pharmacodynamics/Toxicodynamics):
•	Effect of molecules/chemicals at biological
target in vivo
•	Assay design/selection important
•	Perturbation as adverse/therapeutic effect,
reversible/ irreversible effeccts

httk: High-Throughput Toxicokinetics
Functions and data tables for simulation and statistical analysis of chemical toxicokinetics ("TK") as in Pearce et al. (2017) . Chemical-specific in vitro data have been
obtained from relatively high throughput experiments. Both physiologically-based ("PBTK") and empirical (e.g.. one compartment) "TK" models can be parameterized for several hundred chemicals
and multiple species. These models are solved efficiently, often using compiled (C-based) code. A Monte Carlo sampler is included for simulating biological variability (Ring et al., 2017
'l and measurement limitations. Calibrated methods are included for predicting tissue:plasma partition coefficients and volume of distribution (Pearce et al., 2017
1. These functions and data provide a set of tools for in vitro-in vivo extrapolation ("IVIVE") of high throughput screening data (e.g.. Tox21. ToxCast) to real-world
exposures via reverse dosimetry (also known as "RTK") (Wetmore et al,. 2015 V

What Do We Know About Exposure?
Exposure Models
United States
Environmental Protection
Agency
•	Human chemical exposures can be coarsely grouped into ''near field" sources that are close to the
exposed individual (consumer or occupational exposures) 'far-field' scenarios wherein individuals are
exposed to chemicals that were released or used far away (ambient exposure) (Arnot et al., 2006).
•	A model captures knowledge and a hypothesis of how the world works (MacLeod et al., 2010)
•	EPA's EXPOsure toolBOX (EPA ExpoBox) is a toolbox created to assist individuals from within
government, industry, academia, and the general public with assessing exposure
• Includes many, many models (https://www.epa.gov/expobox)
"Now it would be very remarkable if any system existing in the real world could be exactly represented
by any simple model. However, cunningly chosen parsimonious models often do provide remarkably
useful approximations... The only question of interest is 'Is the model illuminating and useful?'"

A categorize metabolome database is under
development by Risa Sayre, Chris Grulke, Antony
Williams, Jon Sobus, and Alex Chao
We have identified five categories of chemical origin
(based on Rappaport etal. (2014) of small molecules
found in human blood biomonitoring samples:
1) endogenous metabolome
2a) exogenous nutrients
2b) markers of exposure to exogenous nutrients

3a) xenobiotics (pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and others)

&EPA Inferring Exposure from the Exposome
United States	'
Environmental Protection
Agency
•	SEEM analyses rely upon exposure inferences from NHANES urine and blood biomonitoring
•	Kristin Isaacs and team are developing publicly available tools to automate that inference
•	Working with Robin Dodson and the Silent Spring Institute to generalize methods to correlate chemical
concentrations in dust with urine and exposure
•	For exposure inference from blood we need to know the clearance, volume of distribution
•	We can do this with HTTK!
•	However, toxicokinetic (TK) IVIVE has limitations:
•	Relatively slow throughput (1000 chemicals in last decade)
•	Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) models are being developed
and evaluated as part of a collaborative study led by Nisha Sipes (NTP)
•	In vitro methods are less than ideal for volatile chemicals
•	Generic inhalation TK IVIVE model has been developed (Linakis et al., submitted)
•	QSPR models can be evaluated specifically for volatile chemicals with measured data

Summary
A tapestry of laws covers the chemicals people are exposed to
in the United States (Breyer, 2009)
Many chemicals, ranging from industrial waste to dyes to
packing materials, are covered by the recently updated Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) and administered by the EPA
New approach methodologies (NAMs) are being developed to
prioritize these existing and new chemicals for testing
Calibrated high throughput exposure predictions are available,
but rely heavily on the NHANES sampling library - reducing
uncertainty and model evaluation depends on better
understanding the whole exposome
