Health-effects assessment for coal tars

Technical Report · Sat Sep 01 04:00:00 EDT 1984

OSTI ID:6270264

The document represents a brief, quantitatively oriented scientific summary of health effects data. It was developed by the Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office to assist the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response in establishing chemical-specific health-related goals of remedial actions. If applicable, chemical-specific subchronic and chronic toxicity interim acceptable intakes are determined for systemic toxicants, or q/sub 1/* values are determined for carcinogens for both oral and inhalation routes. A q/sub 1/* was determined for coal tars based on inhalation exposure.
