title: Chemical wastes: an approach to estimate public health impacts.
abstract: The disposition of chemical wastes has created a multitude of present problems from past practices. The evaluation of potential health effects from chemical waste sites on neighboring residents is a complex effort that involves a number of technical areas. A scheme is presented for guidance to make a preliminary assessment which emphasizes early estimation of exposure. Levels of response are defined based on magnitude of exposure.
