EPA's Exposure Factors Handbook (EFH)
The latest edition of the Exposure Factors Handbook was released in 2011, but since October 2017, EPA has begun to release chapter updates individually. This new process allows risk assessors to get the latest information as new data becomes available.
To make it easier to find these chapter updates, the chapter date column has been added to Table 1.
Additional details about the complete 2011 Edition are available at Exposure Factors Handbook: 2011 Edition.

The software incorporates food consumption data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted in 2003-2006.
- National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted by the CDC, is an ongoing program of studies designed to collect information about the health and nutritional status of the US population. Data collection includes information on food and water intake over 2 non-consecutive days.
- Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals (CSFII) 1994-96, 1998 CD-ROM. The dataset includes information from all individuals who participated in the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) in 1994-96 and 1998 and the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey (DHKS) in 1994-96. This release also includes the Technical Support Databases for CSFII 1994-96, 1998 (food codes, nutrient values, and recipes).
- Food Commodity Intake Database (FCID) Consumption Calculator. The FCID Consumption Calculator uses National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey/What We Eat in America (NHANES/WWEIA) food intake and FCID recipes to estimate food commodity consumption.
- Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN) is a partnership between the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the University of Maryland to ensure the safety of the food supply. JIFSAN houses EPA's Food Commodity Intake Database.
