Design of the MEPAS Human Health Impact Module
The MEPAS Human Health Impact Module calculates time-varying, contaminant (chemical and radionuclide) health impacts, as well as dose equivalence for radionuclides, as a function of exposure pathway and receptor. A full description of the design parameters, as well as scientific formulations for the various models, can be found in Strenge and Chamberlain, 1995 (PNL-10523) and accessed online by following this link:
