Download or read book Quality Control and Quality Assurance Procedures for Level 1 Health Effects Bioassays written by David Brusick and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to develop a quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) document for the EPA Level 1 environmental assessment biological testing program. This manual, developed as part of this program, supplements the Level 1 biological testing procedures manual (1). Although the Level 1 procedures manual presents detailed information on sample preparation, bioassay procedures, data evaluation, and sample ranking, the Level 1 manual describes the role and recommended use of laboratory QC and QA procedures in the Level 1 biological testing program. IERL-RTP's QA audit sample program is presented in the QC/QA manual. In this program, audit samples are made available to laboratories wishing to verify proficiency in conducting Level 1 bioassays. Also described is the documentation required for test material sampling, processing, storage, and disposal. The manual identifies protocol steps for each Level 1 health effects bioassay and describes the QC and documentation procedures required to meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Good Laboratory Practice Regulations. In addition to recommendations for QC and QA procedures, the document supplies sample forms which may be used by laboratories that have not developed their own standard data recording forms. QC and QA procedures vary somewhat between laboratories, and this document serves as a model, but should not be viewed as the only acceptable approach to QC and QA. These QC and QA procedures are not intended to restrict test performance or improvements in study designs, but are critical to maintain uniformity of data generation, documentation, and interpretation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes proceedings of a workshop on Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) in laboratory bioassays of dredged material. The workshop was sponsored by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES). Attendees included individuals from academia, industry, and government with expertise in sediment toxicity testing and/or QA/QC. Topics included data quality objectives; biological procedures; sample handling storage and shipment; data recording, reduction, validation, and reporting; internal quality control checks; and corrective action. The report provides generic guidance under each of these topic headings. Appendices to the report include sample checklist, data reporting forms, chain-of-custody sheets, and laboratory testing contract indemnification forms.

Download or read book Experience with NQA 1 Quality Assurance Standards Applied to in Vitro Bioassay written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 1, 1990, the large (about 4000 samples per year) excreta bioassay program at the Hanford Site ceased abruptly when the contract with the bioassay laboratory was terminated. An intense, high-priority effort was begun to replace the services on an interim basis until a new contract could be procured. Despite the urgency to get the excreta bioassay program going again, the Hanford Internal Dosimetry Program was constrained to use only labs that could meet stringent quality assurance (QA) requirements, even during the interim period. The QA requirements were based on NQA-1 with selected additions from the Environmental Protection Agency's QAMS 005/80 (EPA 1983) and the American Society for Testing and Materials' C 1009-83 (ASTM 1984). This constraint was driven both by legal reasons and by the Hanford Site contractors and workers not wanting the quality of the data to be sacrificed. Finding labs that could (1) handle the large throughput, (2) meet the technical requirements, and (3) pass the QA audit proved more difficult than first anticipated. This presentation focuses on the QA requirements that the labs had to meet and how those very broad requirements were applied specifically to excreta bioassay. 5 refs.

Book excerpt: Abstract: An annotated bibliography for environmental and other health professionals, provides resource information generated or supported by a wide variety of US federal agencies. The guide provides information for reports on a wide variety of topics organized among 37 subject categories ranging from agriculture, pollutants, diet and nutrition, and food additives, to disease prevention, hospital workers hazards, diagnostic instruments and workers' compensation. A section on literature searches also is included. This information is intended to assist health professionals in identifying and selecting appropriate materials to update and expand their own knowledge, and to aid in the education of their students and patients. Sources of publications and audiovisual materials and listing of contributing organizations, cancer and educational resource centers, data bases clearinghouses, and accredited residences, in preventive and occupational medicine, are appended.
