ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE QUESTIONS FROM EPA AND CDC




















































ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE QUESTIONS FROM EPA AND CDC


ATSDR performed a search for currently available questionnaires on exposure to chemicals and their sources. This is a list of questions other agencies have asked or are currently asking related to the topic of interest to ATSDR.


NHAP=EPA National Human Activity Pattern Survey (NHAPS)- This EPA survey was a two-year probability-based telephone survey (n = 9,386) of exposure-related human activities in the United States. The primary purpose of NHAPS was to provide comprehensive and current exposure information over broad geographical and temporal scales, particularly for use in probabilistic population exposure models. NHAPS was conducted on a virtually daily basis from late September 1992 through September 1994. http://eetd.lbl.gov/IED/viaq/pubs/LBNL-47713.pdf


NHEXAS=EPA National Human Exposure Assessment Survey In the early 1990's, EPA initiated this population-based pilot study of the exposure of over 500 people in three areas of the U.S. to metals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, and other toxic chemicals. Measurements were made of the air people breathed, the foods and beverages they consumed, and the soil and dust in/near their home. Chemicals in their blood and urine were measured. The participants also completed questionnaires to help identify possible sources of exposures and to characterize activities that might contribute to exposure. The purpose of NHEXAS is to evaluate comprehensive human exposure to multiple chemicals on a community and regional scale. Ultimately, the EPA anticipates that the information gained from NHEXAS will help individuals, communities, states, the EPA, and other organizations understand the greatest health risks from various chemicals and decide whether steps to reduce those risks are needed. http://www.epa.gov/heasd/edrb/nhexas.htm

NHANES = National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey – Teams of doctors, dentists, nutritionists, and health technicians go out to communities across the United States for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which is updated annually. Since the early 1990s, CDC has surveyed approximately 5,000 people /year. Data from direct examination, testing, and measurement of national samples of the civilian noninstitutionalized population provide the basis for (1) estimates of the medically defined prevalence of specific diseases in the United States and the distribution of the population with respect to physical, physiological, and psychological characteristics and (2) analysis of relationships among the various measurements without reference to an explicit finite universe of persons. For example:

Growth Charts - How is my baby growing? How does my child compare with other children the same age?

Cholesterol - What about cholesterol? How do I know if that is too high?
Lead in Gasoline - measures the amount of lead reduction in people’s blood after lead was removed from gasoline.

Osteoporosis - measures the density of participant’s bones.
Environmental smoke - The last NHANES found that nearly 9 out of 10 nonsmoking Americans were exposed to smoke either at home or on the job.
Obesity- Today, more than half of the adults in the U.S. are overweight, and the number of overweight children and teens has doubled in the past decade. This has led public health experts to look for ways to improve both diet and fitness.
Changes in Food/Diet- NHANES helps monitor whether these new foods and dietary changes actually are in the best interest of our health. What vitamins and minerals belong in our food and diet?
Immunizations - The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey has turned up important information about the extent of hepatitis B infections, and led to the recommendation that all infants and children be vaccinated against it. While we think of babies and children as the primary target for immunizations, the survey also has alerted doctors to the importance of tetanus shots for older people.

(OMB approval #0920-0237) http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/comp3.pdf


The first National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals was issued in March 2001, and presented exposure data for 27 chemicals from NHANES 1999. The Second Report, released in January 2003, presents biomonitoring exposure data for 116 environmental chemicals for the noninstitutionalized, civilian U.S. population over the 2-year period 1999-2000. The Second Report also presents exposure data for the U.S. population divided into age, gender, and race/ethnicity groups.
