  • Description:
    Based on the availability of updated exposure parameters, many from the 2019 update of drinking water ingestion values in the Exposure Factors Handbook (EFH) published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it is necessary that parameters used in calculating doses in our public health evaluations be updated to reflect the best available science.

    This water exposure dose guidance (EDG) provides health assessors with updated guidance on how to estimate water-ingestion related exposures to potential contaminants of concern (COCs). The guidance document for the Shower and Household Water-use Exposure (SHOWER) model addresses inhalation of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds during household water use, such as while showering (ATSDR 2020).
