We also characterized exposure of the children to the "urban/regional background" levels of air pollutants with the use of all Montreal Island's fixed monitoring sites with available air pollutant data, excluding the two sites located near the refineries (see "Regional/urban air pollutant background levels," below).

My research is mainly focused on two areas: 1) characterizing exposure of pollutants and investigating adverse health effects of these pollutants in urban environments and 2) apportioning contamination sources and assessing environmental impact related to human activities (e.g., the fate of contaminants after Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and impact of hydraulic fracturing on water and air quality).
We used four methods with different spatial scales to characterize exposure of the women [see Supplemental Material (doi 10.1289/ehp.0901689)].
The National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, a project of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDCC), employs biomonitoring to characterize exposure of the U.S. population to environmental chemicals (CDC 2012).
The U.S. studies have used data from single monitoring stations to characterize exposure of subjects living in that city, or spatial interpolation from multiple monitoring stations.
The authors concluded that using one carefully chosen monitoring site is a reasonable approach to characterize exposure of particle number concentrations in epidemiologic time-series studies.
The current study demonstrated that spatial and temporal relationships need to be determined in a first step to adequately characterize exposure of individuals living and working in the Braddock area.
The blood Hg distributions [Canadian Health Measures Survey CHMSStatCantCan 2013)] were used to characterize exposures of women 20 49 years of age, and IQ loss was calculated using the association, adjusted for PUFAs, of cord blood Hg with cognitive deficits.
Our results suggest that hand wipe measures of TDCIPP and TPHP may provide a means of characterizing exposure to PFRs in future epidemiologic studies.
And while using "entire life residence" as a more stringent exclusion criterion would have better characterized exposure during period(s) of peak brain development, lack of residential mobility may be a marker for other social features not considered here.
Moreover, our results underscore the importance of characterizing exposure to multiple pollutants, and support using behaviour as a sensitive tool for assessing animal responses to complex contaminant mixtures, like wastewater effluent.
