• Description of the overall scope of the AEATF II program
• Demonstrate the need for additional human exposure monitoring data
• Explain the proposed methodology for the exposure monitoring studies proposed for conduct by the AEATF II

This document also describes the plans of the AEATF II to develop a generic database, i.e., the Biocide Handlers Exposure Database (BHED™).
