Abstract

Prior to 9/11, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Exposure Reseach Laboratory (NERL) and the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) had a University Partnership Agrement to develop improved methods for human exposure modeling. The experience of the WTC site has increased the awareness that there are scientific shortcomings in performing eposure modeling of air pollution event sin urban environments and in providing timely modeling support. The larger purpose of ongoing modeling developments and applications is to provide support for future homeland security concerns.
