Introduction to IH Mod 2.0 Exposure Modeling with Monte Carlo Simulation PDC Recording
Introduction to IH Mod 2.0 Exposure Modeling with Monte Carlo Simulation PDC Recording

Recorded in May 2021, This PDC provides an introduction to IH Mod 2.0, an Excel-based freeware modeling tool available on AIHA's website. IH Mod 2.0 is used for evaluating workplace and consumer inhalation exposures that include Monte Carlo Simulation. Participants will learn: a) about the IH Mod 2.0 exposure models and support files; b) to select the appropriate models and parameter inputs; and, c) whether predictions should be based on a deterministic or probabilistic approach. Case studies will illustrate these models: well-mixed room (box), two-zone (near field/far field), near-field plume, and turbulent eddy diffusion. The following topics will be presented: 1) characterizing exposure distributions using Monte Carlo simulation; 2) interpreting model outputs as concentration curves or time-weighted averages; and, 3) issues relating to data quality, model validation, and model limitations. A series of case studies/scenarios will demonstrate how to apply IH MOD 2.0 to IH exposures.

Upon completion, students will be able to:

  • Identify situations where exposure models may be useful.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the types of models covered in the PDC.
  • Summarize the parameters required for each model and data sources.
  • Select appropriate model(s) for different exposure scenarios.
  • Determine whether to use a deterministic or probabilistic approach.
  • Define input parameters for point estimates and exposure distributions.
  • Apply models and interpret model results.
  • Recognize data gaps and model limitations.
  • Complete an uncertainty analysis of exposure estimates.
