Evaluation of Loring Air Force Base, Maine, In Preparation for a Public Health Assessment-Data Gap Sampling and Analysis Plan.

摘要

The Armstrong Laboratory Occupational Medicine Division (AL/OEM) assists Major Air Commands (MAJCOMs) and installations prepare for public health assessments (PHAs) conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) . The Headquarters, Air Combat Command (HQ ACC) Bioenvironmental Engineering Office requested that the Environmental Sciences Branch (AL/OEMH) accomplish a site visit and prepare a data gap sampling and analysis plan (DGSAP). This plan identifies information needed for the PHA. ATSDR-developed public health assessment methodologies and future land use scenario considerations were used to arrive at DGSAP recommendations. The PHA methodologies focus on public health and sometimes require different information than needed for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directed Installation Restoration Program (IRP) process.
