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 informtion to evaluate the health hazards associated with actual or potential contamination of drinking water supplies. The Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory was requested by HQ USAF/SGPA 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 which were initially issued in 1985-1987. The original Toxicology Guide was produced under contract F33615-81-D-0508 by Arthur D. Little, Inc. for the Biochemical Toxicology Branch, Toxic Hazards Division, Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (AAMRL), Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. The updated volumes of the Toxicology Guide include new regulatory requirements and recently published toxicology information. The updated Toxicology Guide was produced under an Interagency Agreement with the US Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (87-TH-0002) for the Hazard Assessment Branch, Toxic Hazards Division, AAMRL, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. 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.
