Exposure dynamics—the study of pollutants and particulates and related health effects on humankind—has become a critical field of scientific study. Researchers at UC Davis have constructed a test facility known as TRAP, adjacent to a major freeway tunnel system to model exposure dynamics for people living, commuting and working in near-roadway environments. Emissions are drawn directly from the tunnel into an onsite vivarium housing exposure chambers to enable real-time chronic exposure studies on TRAP. Explore the design, construction and implementation of this facility, and several cutting-edge studies focused on neurodevelopmental disorders and
Alzheimer’s disease.
