The explosion and collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) was a catastrophic event that produced an aerosol plume impacting many workers, residents, commuters during first few days after 11 September 2001. Three bulk samples total settled dust smoke were collected at weather-protected locations east WTC on 16 17 2001; these are representative generated material immediately fire concurrent two structures. We analyzed each sample, not differentiated by particle size, for inorganic organic...
This review examines the potential for γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) to be transformed into other isomers of HCH. HCH residues are among most widely distributed and frequently detected organochlorine contaminants in environment. The environmental human health risks associated with these have prompted Canada, United States, Mexico consider development a North American Regional Action Plan (NARAP) assess mitigate pollution. More information on propensity γ-HCH transform is essential an...
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) must characterize potential risks to human health and the environment associated with manufacture use of thousands chemicals. High-throughput screening (HTS) for biological activity allows ToxCast research program prioritize chemical inventories hazard. Similar capabilities estimating exposure would support rapid risk-based prioritization chemicals limited information; here, we propose a framework high-throughput assessment. To...
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) researchers are developing a strategy for high-throughput (HT) exposure-based prioritization of chemicals under the ExpoCast program. These novel modeling approaches evaluating based on their potential biologically relevant human exposures will inform toxicity testing and chemical risk assessment. Based probabilistic methods algorithms developed The Stochastic Human Exposure Dose Simulation Model Multimedia, Multipathway Chemicals...
Some engineers and scientists recently have suggested that it would be prudent to consider engaging in geoengineering mitigate global warming. Geoengineering differs from other methods for mitigating warming because involves a deliberate effort affect the climate at scale. Although is not new idea, has taken on added significance as result of difficulties with implementing proposals change. While proponents admit can significant risks environment public health, many maintain worth pursuing,...
The Life Cycle Initiative, hosted at the United Nations Environment Programme, selected human toxicity impacts from exposure to chemical substances as an impact category that requires global guidance overcome current assessment challenges. initiative leadership established Human Toxicity Task Force develop on assessing and impacts. Based input gathered three workshops addressing main scientific challenges questions, task force built a roadmap for advancing characterization, primarily use in...

The manufacture of novel synthetic chemicals has increased in volume and variety, but often the environmental health risks are not fully understood terms toxicity and, particular, exposure. While efforts to assess have generally been effective when sufficient data available, hazard exposure necessary adequately unavailable for vast majority commerce. US Environmental Protection Agency initiated ExpoCast Program develop tools rapid chemical evaluation based on potential In this context, a...
Recent disasters have highlighted the difficulties in assessing and managing risks types of failure that can occur extreme circumstances. The means characterizing preparing for vary widely, even among engineers. Thus, clarity is required communicating how scientific principles are applied preventing responding to disasters. This paper discusses lessons learned from environmental other regarding risk assessment management, including role perception, five may during a disaster:...
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a decision-making tool that accounts for multiple impacts across the life cycle of product or service. This paper presents conceptual framework to integrate human health impact assessment with risk screening approaches extend LCA include near-field chemical sources (e.g., those originating from consumer products and building materials) have traditionally been excluded LCA. A new generation rapid exposure modeling high-throughput toxicity testing transforming...
