Time-location analysis for exposure assessment studies of children using a novel global positioning system instrumentKai Elgethun
Department of Environmental Health, School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Environ Health Perspect 111:115-22. 2003..Durability of the wiring was improved early in the study to correct breakage problems. The use of GPS technology offers a new level of accuracy for direct quantification of time-location activity patterns in exposure assessment studies...
The Washington aerial spray drift study: children's exposure to methamidophos in an agricultural community following fixed-wing aircraft applicationsSarah Weppner
Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195-7234, USA
J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 16:387-96. 2006..The association of metabolite levels with time spent outside, and the absence of methamidophos in homes indicates that children's exposures occurred primarily outdoors...
Children's inhalation exposure to methamidophos from sprayed potato fields in Washington State: exploring the use of probabilistic modeling of meteorological data in exposure assessmentJaya Ramaprasad
Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195 7234, USA
J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 19:613-23. 2009..However, this study did not consider any pathway of exposure other than inhalation (e.g. diet, dermal, etc.) and the risk assessment should be evaluated in that context...
Organophosphorus pesticide exposure of urban and suburban preschool children with organic and conventional dietsCynthia L Curl
Department of Environmental Health, School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Environ Health Perspect 111:377-82. 2003..Consumption of organic produce appears to provide a relatively simple way for parents to reduce their children's exposure to OP pesticides...
Comparison of global positioning system (GPS) tracking and parent-report diaries to characterize children's time-location patternsKai Elgethun
Department of Geography and School of Rural Public Health, Texas A and M University, College Station, TX 77843 3147, USA
J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 17:196-206. 2007..It is concluded that automated GPS tracking measurements can improve the quality and collection efficiency of time-location data in exposure assessment studies, albeit for small cohorts...
