NOAA’s Tampa-based DeHavilland Twin Otter (DHC-6) equipped to measure tropospheric fluxes and concentration gradients. Part of the BRACE presentation from
the EPA-NOAA Scientist to Scientist Meeting
EPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) is comprised of several divisions with diversified research specialties. NERL conducts research and development that leads to improved methods, measurements and models to assess and predict exposures of humans and ecosystems to harmful pollutants and other conditions in air, water, soil, and food.

Human Exposure & Atmospheric Sciences -
Characterizes aggregate human exposure from all sources and the emission and movement of
pollutants through the atmosphere.
Microbiological & Chemical Exposure Assessment -
Conducts research to measure, characterize and predict the exposure of humans to chemical and microbial hazards. This research provides information on environmental pathways by which hazardous contaminants are transported via air, water, food, and soil to populations at risk.
Ecosystems Research -
Performs research on approaches to multimedia modeling for landscape, nutrient and chemical stressors of ecosystems.
Environmental Sciences -
Develops methods for characterizing chemical and physical stressors. Develops landscape and regional assessment capabilities through the use of remote sensing and advanced spatial analysis techniques.
Atmospheric Modeling -
Develops advanced air quality models that can simulate the transport and fate of pollutants in the atmosphere.
Ecological Exposure -
Conducts laboratory and field studies aimed at providing research products that enable the Agency to conduct predictive and retrospective exposure assessments.
