The purpose of this paper is to discuss the method and approaches used at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory in providing chemical and biological data dealing with Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) materials. The approach is designed to provide meaningful health data to the technology developers within the time frame which permits technology changes to be made optimally to ameliorate potential problem areas. Chemical and biological characterization studies have included: gas chromatography; gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy; liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy; specialized separations; microbial mutagenesis assays; in vitro mammalian cell toxicity and transformation assays; epidermal carcinogenesis; acute and subchronic oral toxicity; developmental toxicity; dominant lethal assays; inhalation toxicity; dosimetry and metabolism studies.
