Photo chc_uw_1.jpg “The Pesticide Exposure Pathways Project at the University of Washington’s Center for Child Environmental Health Risks Research uses environmental modeling, environmental sampling, child activity analysis, biological monitoring and analysis of aerial photography to characterize the exposure pathways for children living in agricultural communities. This photo is of a child wearing a GPS-PAL in a vest. The dashed lines indicate location of components inside the vest. Clothing does not block reception.”

Photo chc_uw_2.jpg “The resolution of the child-worn GPS-PAL tracking system can differentiate between distinct inside and outside areas. The dashed lines indicate the path of a child over the course of a day.”

Photo chc_uw_3.jpg “When a plan of a structure is laid over the child’s path, the GPS-PAL system can track inside structures as well.”

Winning entries were included in a calendar. In this drawing, the woman tells the man to wash his own clothes because she’s going to a dance…and reminds him to leave his boots outside.
