Child-Specific Exposure Factors
Handbook
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of public comment
period.
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 60-day
public comment period for the external
review draft document titled, ‘‘Child-
Specific Exposure Factors Handbook’’
(EPA/600/R–06/096A). The draft
document was prepared by the National
Center for Environmental Assessment
within EPA’s Office of Research and
Development. The ‘‘Child-Specific
Exposure Factors Handbook’’ provides a
summary of statistical data on various
exposure factors used in assessing
children’s exposures, including:
drinking water consumption; soil
ingestion and mouthing behavior;
inhalation rates; dermal factors
including skin surface area and soil
adherence factors; consumption of retail
and home-grown foods; breast milk
intake; and activity pattern data. This
Handbook serves as a resource for
exposure assessors for calculating
children’s exposures. An interim final
version of this handbook was published
in 2002. This updated version provides
analysis of exposure factors data using
the age groups for children
recommended in the EPA document
entitled, ‘‘Guidance on Selecting Age
Groups for Monitoring and Assessing
Childhood Exposures to Environmental
Contaminants’’ (EPA/630/P–03/003F)
(Available on line at http://
cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/
recordisplay.cfm?deid=146583).
EPA is releasing the draft ‘‘Child-
Specific Exposure Factors Handbook’’
solely for the purpose of pre-
dissemination peer review under
applicable information quality
guidelines. This document has not been
formally disseminated by EPA. It does
not represent and should not be
construed to represent any Agency
policy or determination. EPA will
consider any public comments
submitted in accordance with this
notice when revising the document.
