Exposure Pathways ? Effects

• SOURCE
• (SSFL, air pollution, etc.)
• CONTAMINANTS
• (chemicals, radionuclide, other toxic materials)
• PATHWAYS
• (Air, Ground, and Water)
• GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
• EXPOSURE
• (inhalation, ingestion, skin absorption)
• EFFECTS
• (humans, vegetation, air quality, etc.)

3
Main Objectives

• What are the contaminants of concern?
• What are the sources for these contaminants?
• What pathways can be modeled from SSFL to the
  surrounding community?
• What areas are potentially exposed to the
  contaminants?

Exposure Pathways vs Exposure Effects

• Means by which
• contaminants are
• dispersed into the
• surrounding environment.
• Effects resulting from
• exposure of individuals,
• livestock, vegetation, etc.
• to the contaminants.

• Exposure Pathways
• Exposure Effects
