This U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) STAR program grant is for transdisciplinary research aimed at enhancing the scientific understanding of chemical exposures in young children. It specifically invites the scientific community to propose innovative approaches and methods. The core purpose is to improve the estimates, better characterize the variability, and significantly reduce the uncertainty concerning chemical exposures that occur via soil and dust ingestion for children aged 6 months through 6 years. This initiative is crucial for advancing exposure science by providing more reliable data on how children interact with their environment. The research will ultimately inform better risk assessments and contribute to developing more effective public health protection strategies against environmental contaminants, ensuring the well-being of vulnerable populations.
