Abstract
Massive amounts of extremely hazardous substances (EHSs) can be released accidentally as a result of chemical spills, industrial explosions, fires, or accidents involving railroad cars and trucks transporting EHSs. The people in communities surrounding industrial facilities where EHSs are manufactured, used, or stored, and in communities along the nation's railways and highways are potentially at risk of being exposed to airborne EHSs during accidental releases. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified 366 EHSs based on acute lethality data in rodents. The report addresses risk assessment of short-term exposures to high levels of chemical toxicants. It describes the criteria and methods for developing community emergency exposure levels for EHSs for use by many organizations, including EPA, the ATSDR, state and local governments, and chemical industries.
