Lewisite risk assessment

To ensure that chemical contamination is rednced to safe concentrations at stockpile and NSCM sites before they are used for residential, occupational, or wildlife purposes, the U.S. Army requested that health-based exposure limits for GA, GB, GD, VX, sulfur mustard, and lewisite be developed to protect the pnblic and the environment. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was asked to conduct the health risk assessments and propose chronic oral reference doses (RfDs) and, where... [Pg.18]

It was recommended by the MCRA Working Group that for risk assessments, the carcinogenic potential of lewisite degradation products be considered. [Pg.308]
