  1. Appendix E. NHEXAS (National Human Exposure Assessment Survey) Questionnaires
    Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS) is conducted as four projects by researchers in the academic, private, and governmental areas of science collaborating to coordinate studies that share a common questionnaire on activity and sociodemographics, examine the same exposure sources, and send samples for analysis to the same laboratory. The studies are unique in the degree of characterization of exposures of individuals. Multiple chemicals, chemical classes, and exposure pathways and routes are examined for each individual for each study. Studies measure pollutant concentrations in air, water, soil, dust, food, blood, urine, and hair, and on surfaces and human skin using various sampling and analytical techniques; determine direct exposure using personal exposure monitors; and estimate human activity patterns using a series of questionnaires and diaries listed below. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
