The Biological Threat Reduction Program of the Department of Defense
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309179513
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
This Congressionally-mandated report identifies areas for further cooperation with Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union under the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program of the Department of Defense in the specific area of prevention of proliferation of biological weapons. The report reviews relevant U.S. government programs, and particularly the CTR program, and identifies approaches for overcoming obstacles to cooperation and for increasing the long-term impact of the program. It recommends strong support for continuation of the CTR program.
Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Selected Airborne Chemicals
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309072948
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
In the Bhopal disaster of 1984, approximately 2,000 residents living near a chemical plant were killed and 20,000 more suffered irreversible damage to their eyes and lungs following the accidental release of methyl isocyanate. This tragedy served to focus international attention on the need for governments to identify hazardous substances and assist local communities in planning how to deal with emergency exposures. Since 1986, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been tasked with identifying extremely hazardous substances and, in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Transportation, assist local emergency response planners. The National Advisory Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances was established in 1995 to develop acute exposure guideline levels (AEGLs) for high priority toxic chemicals that could be released into the air from accidents at chemical plants, storage sites, or during transportation. This book reviews toxicity documents on five chemicalsâ€"chlorine, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, toluene, and uranium hexafluorideâ€"for their scientific validity, comprehensives, internal consistency, and conformance to the 1993 guidelines report.
Standing Operating Procedures for Developing Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Chemicals
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309170869
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
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.
