This book was released on 1998-07-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force is developing a model to assist commanders in determining when it is safe to launch rocket vehicles. The model estimates the possible number and types of adverse health effects for people who might be exposed to the ground cloud created by rocket exhaust during a normal launch or during an aborted launch that results in a rocket being destroyed near the ground. Assessment of Exposure-Response Functions for Rocket-Emmission Toxicants evaluates the model and the data used for three rocket emission toxicants: hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and nitric acid.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency response levels and protective action guides for incidents that could expose the public to an accidental release of radiation have been developed and used for many years. Similar attention, has not been focused on hazards from potential chemical releases. The tragic incident in Bhopal, India, in which over 2000 people died and many suffered irreversible health damage, has heightened concern worldwide about real and potential releases of chemicals. This concern, and the resultant re-evaluation by many companies, has demonstrated a need for similar guidelines for dealing with chemical hazards; such guidance would aid significantly in plant design and community planning. To address the need for reliable, consistent, and well-documented emergency planning guidelines, a program of Emergency Response Planning Guidelines (ERPGs) was established by Organization Resources Counselors, Inc. (ORC). ORC, working through established task forces and the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), oversees ERPG development. This paper describes the program established for developing and issuing ERPGs and the process within DOE for providing support.
