The Program for Advanced Materials and Substances of Emerging Environmental Concern (AMSEEC) has a dedicated pillar for exposure assessment that characterizes how substances move and are transformed in the environment. Having an accurate understanding of exposure is critical to characterizing risk, the likelihood that a substance will cause harm, as well as informing decisions on to how to best manage that risk. As materials move through the environment, they may bind to natural substances, undergo bio-geochemical transformation, or be taken up into the tissues of organisms and enter the food chain, which may result in ecological and human health effects.
With its in-house expertise and state-of-the-science facilities, ERDC is uniquely positioned to develop and apply models that predict how novel materials move in the environment and where they will end up.
