Rocky Mountain Arsenal pilot exposure study. Part 2. Analysis of exposure to diisopropylmethylphosphate, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, isodrin and chlorophenylmethsulfone. Final report
A pilot exposure study was undertaken in communities surrounding Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) in order to determine whether exposures to several chemicals were greater among persons who resided there than among residents of a comparison area. In Part II of the exposure study, participants were screened for four organochlorine pesticides (dieldrin, endrin, aldrin, and isodrin): and diisopropylmethylphosphonate (DIMP), and byproduct of nerve agent manufacture, which was producted at RMA by the the United States Army. Urine samples were also screen for chlorophenyl-methylsulfone (CPMSO2), and oxidation product of chlorophenyl-methylsulfide (CPMS). CPMS is an intermediate in the synthesis of nitralin, a herbicide once manufactured at the RMA.
