Analysis of durations and frequencies of mouthing behaviors in children 6 months to 6 years
Background Children are susceptible to harmful substances found in indoor dust through frequent hand-to-mouth and object-to-mouth contacts. Despite the importance of this exposure route, few studies have quantified the frequency, duration, or patterns of mouthing behaviors in indoor residential settings, creating uncertainty in exposure and risk models. Objective This study quantified the frequency and duration of indoor mouthing contacts for chi…
Methodologies for the collection of parameters to estimate dust/soil ingestion for young children
Background: Heavy metals, pesticides and a host of contaminants found in dust and soil pose a health risk to young children through ingestion. Dust/soil ingestion rates for young children can be estimated using micro-level activity time series (MLATS) as model inputs. MLATS allow for the generation of frequency and duration of children's contact activities, along with sequential contact patterns. Models using MLATS consider contact types, and tra…
Quantified Activity Patterns for Young Children in Beach Environments Relevant for Exposure to Contaminants
In a study to evaluate beach play activities, 120 children were videotaped to observe and quantify factors that could influence their exposure to contaminants in the beach environment. Children aged 1 to 6 years were followed by researchers with video cameras at beaches (two in Miami, Florida and two in Galveston, Texas) for approximately one hour each. Factors evaluated included time spent in various beach locations, various activities engaged i…
Soil, Hand, and Body Adherence Measures across Four Beach Areas
Skin adherence (SA) of soil affects exposure from soil contaminants through dermal routes via loading on the skin and through ingestion routes through hand to mouth activities. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationships between adherence versus child-specific and environmental factors. Two sets of soil-to-skin adherence were evaluated. The first was based on loading on hands following hand presses (Hand SA). The second was ba…
