<p class="MsoNormal">Emerging contaminants, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with low volatilities, are released from a vast number of building materials and consumer products. Better<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">understanding the transport mechanisms of these contaminants and their exposure routes in the indoor environment is essential to estimating indoor exposure and developing strategies that enlighten risk assessments and policy decisions to
minimize exposures and protect human health. This research project is to develop test protocols and generated source emissions and fate and transport data for PFAS and other chemicals in articles including consumer products and building materials. This research
project will support exposure models by providing model inputs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The research participant will collaborate with a team of EPA scientists in tasks related to source and emission characterization with focus on emerging contaminants.<o:p></o:p></p>
