The Installation Restoration Program Toxicology Guide


Book Description

One of the objectives of the U.S. Air Force Installation Program (IRP) is to provide individuals responsible for the management and implementation of the IRP with information to evaluate the health hazards associated with actual or potential contamination of drinking water supplies. This IRP is to develop health and environmental information for each potential contaminant of drinking water supplies associated with USAF installations. This IRP Toxicology Guide consists of four volumes. For each chemical in the IRP toxicology Guide, the environmental fate, exposure pathways, toxicity, sampling and analysis methods and state and federal regulatory status are outlined. The material provided is intended as an overview of key topic areas; no attempt was made to provide a comprehensive review. Users are encouraged to read the Introduction to Volume 1 of the IRP Toxicology guide before applying chemical- specific information.

The Installation Restoration Program Toxicology Guide


Book Description

The objective of the IRP Toxicology Guide is to serve as a basic day-to-day resource for USAF personnel who have responsibility for the management of hazardous waste, particularly in regard to contamination of ground-water supplies. The IRP Toxicology Guide was intended for and focused toward technical personnel with appropriate backgrounds to recognize the significance as well as the limitations of various test procedures and findings. In scope, the IRP Toxicology Guide outlines the environmental fate and effects, exposure pathways, toxicity and sampling/analysis techniques for a selected list of chemicals, some of which, when accidently or unknowingly released to ground water may present a hazard. The material provided is intended as an overview of key topic areas; no attempt was made to provide a comprehensive review. Keywords: Environmental impact, Water quality, Contaminants, Health hazards, Risk management. (AW).

Standing Operating Procedures for Developing Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Chemicals


Book Description

Standing Operating Procedures for Developing Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Chemicals contains a detailed and comprehensive methodology for developing acute exposure guideline levels (AEGLs) for toxic substances from inhalation exposures. The book provides guidance on what documents and databases to use, toxicity endpoints that need to be evaluated, dosimetry corrections from animal to human exposures, selection of appropriate uncertainty factors to address the variability between animals and humans and within the human population, selection of modifying factors to address data deficiencies, time scaling, and quantitative cancer risk assessment. It also contains an example of a summary of a technical support document and an example of AEGL derivation. This book will be useful to persons in the derivation of levels from other exposure routesâ€"both oral and dermalâ€"as well as risk assessors in the government, academe, and private industry.
