Background
The aim of the handbook is to improve the characterization of the potential environmental health risks to children by accounting for life stage differences in exposure. The handbook contains summaries of selected studies published through July 2008. Where possible, the U.S. EPA has used the standard set of age categories recommended by the Agency to permit easier comparison of data among multiple sources and to allow consistency between different types of exposure factors.
