Chemical
Exposure: Technology, Safety, and Risk Assessment
Tracer Bullet 91-11 |
|
This Tracer Bullet focuses on health and safety aspects of human
exposure to chemicals known or suspected to be hazardous. Areas
covered include toxic risk assessment, standards for permissible
exposure levels, and safety precautions. References to older materials
that document early scientific knowledge of the hazardous effects
of chemical substances are included because of frequent requests
in connection with litigation. Although this guide is not directed
at health hazards deriving from pharmaceuticals, biologicals,
or the physical environment (e.g., radiation), some of the cited
works deal with these topics. Other guides in the Tracer Bullet
series that relate to environmental hazards to health are Allergy
and Asthma (TB 89-7), Asbestos (TB 87-1), Electromagnetic
Fields--Physiological and Health Effects (TB 86-5), Indoor
Air Pollution (TB 86-8), and Noise Pollution (TB
88-6). Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, the present
guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the
reader "on target."
