Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5243726
In the document, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) procedures for meeting the statutory mandate for a registry of persons exposed to hazardous substances are described. The rationale for and purpose of the Exposure Registry is to address health issues at hazardous waste sites and emergency chemical spills. The registry activity specifically addresses long-term health issues related to the exposures of hazardous substances and/or mixtures of hazardous substances. The creation of the registry is meant to provide--through the creation of large, valid data files--information needed by researchers to elucidate the presence or absence of the long-term health effects.
