Tribal Lifeline Project

LifeLine™ software is designed to estimate exposures and risks from one or more chemicals reaching individuals in selected populations via their diet, water supply, pets or from their use of consumer products. In 2002, US EPA responded to the need to expand that capability to consider Native Americans living on reservations and practicing traditional Native American lifestyles. The LifeLine Group was contracted to produce amendments to the basic LifeLine Software that would represent exposure scenarios for two types of Native American communities. Traditional diets based on hunted meats and gathered vegetables, seasonal changes of lodging, use of sweat lodges and other unique exposure scenarios are now part of the risk assessment model. The LifeLine Group is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization who creates and distributes state-of-the-art exposure and risk assessment software and related materials. The LifeLine Group copyrights its software and documentation and maintains ownership and version control for all of its programs. All software, including that developed under this contract, is made publicly available, without charge.
