SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The revised Exposure Factors Handbook is 
intended to serve as a support document to EPA's Exposure Assessment 
Guidelines (57 FR 22888; May 29, 1992) by providing data on factors 
that may be needed to calculate human exposure to toxic chemicals. The 
Guidelines were developed to promote consistency across exposure 
assessment activities carried out by various EPA offices. The Handbook 
provides a common data base that all Agency programs can use to derive 
values for exposure assessment factors.
