An Introduction to the heR.ActivityData Package

Description

This help page gives a short introduction to the heR.ActivityData package, which is a module of the Human Exposure Research (heR) package

Details

This package was first developed as part of Neil Klepeis' research on human exposure to airborne particulate matter occurring in people's homes while he was a PhD student in Environmental Health Sciences at the School of Public Heatlh, University of California at Berkeley.

This package includes data from three surveys of human activity patterns: The 1992-94 USEPA's National Human Activity Pattern Survey (NHAPS) and the 1987-1990 California Air Resource Board's (CARB) surveys of adults and children. These data were collected for the purpose of estimating the exposure of Americans or Californians to household pollutantsin air and water.

Please see the package index for a complete listing and documentation of the specific data sets that are part of this package.

The current modules in the Human Exposure Research (heR) include:

heR.Activities Human activity pattern plotting and analysis
heR.ActivityData Human activity pattern data
heR.IndoorAir Indoor air modeling
heR.Inhalation Inhalation exposure and dose modeling
heR.Misc Miscellaneous plotting and analysis functions
heR.MonitoringData Indoor and outdoor pollutant time series data
heR.Simulation Exposure simulation framework
heR.SurveyData PTEAM exposure survey data
