SHEDS models are probabilistic models that estimate human chemical exposures from inhalation, skin contact, and dietary and non-dietary ingestion. Estimates are based on available data on dietary consumption, human activity, and chemical levels in food, water, air and on surfaces. The models can generate predictions of aggregate (single chemical) and cumulative (multiple chemicals) exposures over time to improve risk assessments.
