Improving Methods for Classification of Exposure to DBPs

Abstract

Evaluates the degree to which use of a computer-based exposure model can improve prediction of exposure to disinfection by-products. Also provides an improved exposure method for use in epidemiological studies of adverse health effects (see also project #341). Research partner: M/DBP Council. Published in 2005.
