Extremely hazardous substances (EHSs)(2) can be released
accidentally as a result of chemical spills, industrial explosions,
fires, or accidents involving railroad cars and trucks transporting
EHSs. Workers and residents 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 or intentional releases by terrorists. Pursuant
to the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified
approximately 400 EHSs on the basis of acute lethality data in
rodents. As part of its efforts to develop acute exposure guideline
levels for EHSs, EPA and the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) in 1991 requested that the National
Research Council (NRC) develop guidelines for establishing such
levels. In response to that request, the NRC published Guidelines
for Developing Community Emergency Exposure Levels for Hazardous
Substances in 1993. Subsequently, Standard Operating Procedures for
Developing Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances
was published in 2001, providing updated procedures, methodologies,
and other guidelines used by the National Advisory Committee (NAC)
on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances and the
Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs) in developing
the AEGL values. In 1998, EPA and DOD requested that the NRC
independently review the AEGLs developed by NAC. In response to
that request, the NRC organized within its Committee on Toxicology
(COT) the Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels, which
prepared this report. Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Selected
Airborne Chemicals is the tenth volume of the series and documents
for N,N-dimethylformamide, jet propellant fuels 5 and 8, methyl
ethyl ketone, perchloromethyl mercaptan, phosphorus oxychloride,
phosphorus trichloride, and sulfuryl chloride. Table of Contents
