SHEDS-Residential Version 4 (also referred to in this user guide as "SHEDS") is a sophisticated but user-friendly cumulative and aggregate human exposure model for chemicals contacted in a residential setting. It requires the user to select appropriate inputs and to interpret the resulting outputs. Users should therefore be prepared to invest time to configure this model to exposure chemical application scenario(s) of their choice. Before attempting to run the model, it is recommended that new users review this User Guide and the Technical Manual to familiarize themselves with the model and the types of information that will be required.
