for
Hazardous Substances:"The ATSDR Minimal Risk Levels (MRLs) were developed as an initial response to the mandate. Following discussions with scientists within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the EPA, ATSDR chose to adopt a practice similar to that of the EPA's Reference Dose (RfD) and Reference Concentration (RfC) for deriving substance-specific health guidance levels for non-neoplastic endpoints. An MRL is an estimate of the daily human exposure to a hazardous substance that is likely to be without appreciable risk of adverse noncancer health effects over a specified duration of exposure." ******************************************************
The Scope of Occupational and Environmental Health, Pulmonary, Industrial, Occupational, and Environmental Medicine Consultant
Medical Horizons Unlimited:"The specialties of occupational and environmental medicine deal with health issues that relate to exposures in occupational (work) settings and/or are due to contact with environmental factors, conditions, and changes. The occurrence of occupational and industrial diseases is estimated to be approximately 900,000 illness cases per year with a broad spectrum of manifestations. However, these occupational diseases continue to be under-recognized. The focus is the environmental determinants of noninfectious diseases in the workplace and non-occupational environmental exposures resulting in disease."
