However, for consumer exposure scenarios, the data typically does not exist or is resource intensive to generate using traditional approaches (e.g. human volunteer studies). Alternative methods employing robots programmed to perform simple tasks in exposure monitoring projects have been recently developed and proven helpful for estimating consumer exposure (Feld-Cook et al., 2021<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n LOA has contracted with the University of Texas (UT) at Austin and Chemistry and Industrial Hygiene Inc. (C&IH, Arvada, Colorado) to perform a set of exposure monitoring studies using robots to simulate the human application of paints containing solvents. The paint application and exposure monitoring will be conducted in environmentally controlled and monitored test chambers.<\/p>\n The project is currently being finalised contract and resource wise, and the laboratory activities are expected to be completed by fall 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.esig.org\/newsletters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/robot.jpg” alt=”Pexels Background” title_text=”robot” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin_tablet=”||8px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exposure WorkUpdate on ESIG Exposure ToolsESIG recently updated its Generic Exposure Scenarios (GES) for Industrial Workers, both in Chesar and Excel format.
