Impact/Purpose:
This document was developed by ORD/NCEA for OSWER to provide interim guidance for the quantitative risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
Description:
The document represents a brief, quantitatively oriented scientific summary of health effects data. It was developed by the Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office for the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response to provide interim guidance for the quantitative risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). For a more complete discussion of potential hazards from PAH exposure, the reader is referred to the 1992 Drinking Water Criteria Document for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH). A literature search was not done in support of this short guidance document.
