Description:EPC Guidance for Discrete Sampling, V6 — September 26, 2023
Environmental samples provide insights on contamination levels at sites of interest. But those insights are never complete: health assessors will never have sampling data for every single fish in a lake, from every volume of air that people breathe, or from every drop of water that people drink. Health assessors instead must use available environmental sampling data to estimate human exposures to contamination levels that are not fully known. This document presents ATSDR’s guidance for estimating exposure point concentrations (EPCs) for use in the public health assessment process.
