The Installation Restoration Program toxicology guide
One of the objectives of the US Air Force Installation Restoration 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. 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. The Air Force IRP Toxicology Guide is an effort by the Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Research Laboratory to identify those contaminants for which criteria, standards or US EPA-based guidelines are available provide a ground water contaminant information data base for use at USAF installations where there are no relevant federal, state, or local standards, and provide guidelines to aid in the development of USAF policy and program for IRP completion. This volume, regarding identified by the USAF as being of concern to the IRP, is an extension of the previous four volumes addressing a series of 70 compounds relevant to Air Force installations. Specifically, this volume presents information on cadmium, chromium, mercury, zinc, arsenic, nickel and copper. The general organization is similar to that of the previous volumes, and consists of individual chapters for each metal. Due to the complexity of metal chemistry, each chapter is not limited to merely the elemental form of the metal, but rather information on various metal compounds. 140 refs., 5 figs., 10 tabs.
