Overview

This work, initiated by the Society of Risk Analysis, is a compendium of information about predictive methods and tools, monitoring methods, data sources, and key variables that characterize exposure in and around all types of residences (apartments, single-family homes, condos, farmhouses, mobile homes, row houses, retirement homes and school dorms). Residential exposure assessments are used to check indoor air quality, compliance with U.S. statutes, and evaluation of consumer product safey and include measurements of agents (chemical, biological, and physical) that are present in and around the home.
