Developing an Exposure Dose

Drinking Contaminated Groundwater
We estimated an exposure dose of each contaminant a person might receive by drinkingthe contaminated groundwater (Risk Assistant, 1994). We used the maximum contaminantlevel found in groundwater. Children represent a sensitive subpopulation and doses thatare protective of children are most likely protective of adults. For non-cancerouscompounds, we estimated the exposure dose that an elementary school child, weighing 24kilograms (50 pounds), would receive drinking about a half liter of contaminatedgroundwater a day, 250 days a year for 6 years. For carcinogenic compounds, weestimated an exposure dose that an adult, weighing 70 kilograms (150 pounds), wouldreceive over a lifetime (70 years) of drinking 2 liters contaminated groundwater a day.

Household Use of Contaminated Groundwater
Contaminants in domestic water may evaporate from various water sources in the homeand contaminate indoor air. People may be exposed to contaminants by breathingcontaminated air. To estimate indoor air concentrations, we used the maximumcontaminant level found in groundwater. For non-carcinogenic compounds, we estimatedan exposure dose an elementary school child would receive from breathing contaminatedindoor air, 9 hours a day, 250 days a year. We estimate children breath at a rate of 0.76cubic meters an hour. For carcinogenic compounds, we estimated an exposure dose anadult would receive from breathing contaminated indoor air, 21 hours a day, 350 days a year for 70 years (Risk Assistant, 1994).

Exposure to Contaminated Soil
Exposure to surface soil is currently a completed exposure pathway and exposure tosubsurface soil is a potential exposure pathway. We assume children consume asignificant amount of soil, relative to adults, as a result of outdoor play. When children haveaccess to areas of contaminated soil, they may incidentally eat the soil resulting in asignificant source of exposure to contaminants. Even though adults are less likely to eatsignificant amounts of soil, soil ingestion remains a potentially significant source ofexposure to environmental contaminants through hand-mouth activities, smoking andeating. We estimated an exposure dose of each contaminant a child (for potential non-cancer effects) and adult (for potential carcinogenic effects) might receive by coming intocontact with contaminated soil.

For non-cancerous compounds in soil, we estimated the exposure dose that an elementaryschool child, weighing 24 kilograms (50 pounds), would receive by incidentally eating 200milligrams of contaminated soil 350 days a year for 6 years. Children represent a sensitivesubpopulation and doses that are protective of children are most likely protective of adults. For carcinogenic compounds, we estimated an exposure dose that an adult, weighing 70kilograms (150 pounds), would receive over a lifetime (70 years) of incidentally ingesting100 milligrams of soil a day, 350 days out of the year (Risk Assistant, 1994).

The amount of dust from contaminated soils residents might breathe was also estimated. For a child we used an inhalation value of 0.76 cubic meters an hour which corresponds toone-third of a day at rest and the rest of the day doing light activity. For adults, we used1.67 cubic meter per hour which corresponds to on-third of the day at rest and theremaining day divided between light, moderate and heavy activity (Risk Assistant, 1994).
