Consideration
of Other Regulatory Revisions for Chemical Contaminants in
Support of the Six-Year Review of the National Primary Drinking
Water Regulations.
Environmental
Protection Agency, Washington, DC. Office of Water. |
In December
of 2000, EPA Headquarters (HQ) circulated a memorandum to
its Regional offices requesting feedback on issues relating
to the implementation of its drinking water regulations. Although
the memorandum specified a 'potential set of issues' for consideration,
Regions were asked to identify any other known issues related
to regulatory implementation. In addition, the Association
of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) was asked to
confer with the States regarding implementation issues that
they felt needed to be reviewed or addressed. The number and
extent of responses from EPA Regions and States were limited.
In response to the memorandum and the request to the ASDWA,
EPA received feedback from: nine EPA Regions, seven States,
and ASDWA. Of the written communications received, a few discussed
issues that have already been addressed in the recently published
arsenic and radionuclides NPDWRs (66 FR 6975, January 22,
2001 (USEPA, 2001); 65 FR 76707, December 3, 2000 (USEPA,
2000b)), and others are being addressed through ongoing mechanisms.
This document summarizes the implementation issues that were
discussed in this written (and some verbal) feedback from
EPA Regions and States.

During
pickling of stainless steel metal fluorides are generated in
the acid solution.
If the concentration gets too high, precipitation and crystallization
can occur. Different factors that may influence the crystallization
in pickling bathes of mixed acid have been investigated in laboratory
experiments and evaluated also with multivariate methods. The
results are compared with some findings reported in literature.
Some of the results are: in order to predict if crystallization
occurs it will be needed to know values of several parameters
like retention time, temperature, concentration of nitric acid,
hydrofluoric acid and iron; single knowledge of e.g. the iron
concentration is not sufficient, and higher concentrations of
iron, hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid increase the probability
for crystallization. Time is an important factor for crystallization.
Pickling bathes from different companies showed some difference
in the crystallization behaviour. Presence of seed material,

Six-Year
Review. Chemical Contaminants. Health Effects Technical Support
Document.
Environmental
Protection Agency, Washington, DC. |
All conclusions
reached in this document should be considered tentative pending
receipt of public comments. Four chemicals have been identified
as potentially qualifying for revision on the basis of new IRIS
or OPP health assessments that could impact the MCLG. These
are beryllium, chromium, oxamyl, and picloram. This tentative
identification of chemicals potentially qualifying for revision
was conducted independently of other considerations (e.g., analytical
and treatment technology, magnitude of gain in health protection,
data gaps, occurrence), which may influence the final selection
of contaminants to be revised. Three chemicals, cyanide, di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate,
and thallium, are high priority because of reproductive and/or
developmental concerns. New IRIS health assessments of these
chemicals have been initiated. The new risk assessments are
expected to be completed in the 2004/2005 time frame for cyanide,
2003/2004 for di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate, and 2004/2005 for thallium
(US EPA 2002b). New data have become available
regarding the effect of fluoride on bone, and the contribution
of various sources to total fluoride exposure. EPA plans
to request NAS to conduct a review of these data. Table 5 provides
the details of the review process applied to each of the 68
chemicals under consideration. |

Chamber experiments and model calculations
were performed in order to assess the protective effect of deposition
of hydrogen fluoride (HF) on buildings and their contents.
In a sealed exposure chamber (0.93 cu m), plates or pieces of
vinyl wallpaper on plasterboard, plastic carpet of PVC or cotton
textile were exposed to HF at initial concentration of 80 ppm.
By measuring the concentration decrease with time, the transfer
velocity and slope of adsorption isotherm were determined by
fitting a model to the data. Model predictions for an initial
concentration of 200-300 ppm were in good agreement when compared
with validation experiments at the same initial concentration. |

and Standards. |
The United
State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards (OAQPS) is investigating brick manufacturing
plants to identify and quantify filterable and condensible particulate
matter (PM), filterable and condensible PM less than 10 micrometers
(PM-10), total organic compounds (TOC), volatile and semi-volatile
organic compounds, hydrogen fluoride,
hydrogen chloride, metals, nitrogen oxides (Nox), sulfur
dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
In support of this investigation, the OAQPS issued Midwest Research
Agency (MRI) a series of work assignments to conduct emissions
testing at a brick manufacturing plant during normal production
operations. The primary objective of the emissions testing was
to characterize the uncontrolled emissions of PM and PM-10 from
the grinding/screening operations; TOC, methane and ethane from
the brick drying operation and all of the above pollutants from
the brick firing kiln operation. Plant No. 6 at the Belden brick
manufacturing facility in Sugarcreek, Ohio with the capacity
to produce approximately 225 tons per day of brick, was selected
by EPA as the host facility. Plant No.6 consists of two grinding/screening
lines, eight brick dryers and three gas fired tunnel kilns.
In addition to the emissions testing, MRI monitored and recorded
process operations and collected process samples. |

LETTER FROM AKZO CHEMIE AMERICA TO US EPA CONTAINING RISK EVALUATION
OF OLEYLAMINE |
Oleylamine
has been tested for potential toxic effects, and a summary of
these data is presented. Human clinical trials include preliminary
tests of the hydrofluoride salt for efficacy as an anti-caries
agent; no adverse effects were noted after acute and chronic
low-dose human exposure. Long-term manufacture and use of oleylamine
has shown no adverse human effects. Dermal exposure of rabbits
indicates it is corrosive to skin (and probably eyes). The
hydrofluoride salt was more toxic to orally-exposed pregnant
mice than was oleylamine. Tallowamine, structurally related
to oleylamine, was moderately toxic to rats (oral LD50 =2000
mg/kg). Tests with several strains of rats and mice exposed
intraperitoneally confirm the relatively
higher toxicity of the hydrofluoride salt as compared to oleylamine.
Inflammation of the G.I. tract was the only adverse effect noted
in tests with rats fed 3000 ppm of octadecylamine for 209 days
and in dogs fed 15 mg/kg/day for 1 year. No effects were noted
in rats fed 500 ppm for 2 years. No mutagenicity has been shown
in Ames tests with related chemical forms. Oral developmental
studies with mice exposed to oleylamine showed maternal toxicity
at exposure levels up to 3200 mg/kg, but no teratogenicity was
noted. Tests with the hydroflouride salt led to maternal toxicity
at 800 mg/kg, but did not induce any malformations. No reproductive
effects have been seen in reproductive studies with rats administered
oral doses of from 1 to 30 mg/kg/day of the fluoride salt. No
adverse fetal effects were seen in rats dermally exposed to
levels high enough to cause local irritation to the dams. |

Butyryicholinesterase Genetic Variants in Persons with Gulf
War Illness.
Author:
Lockridge O
Nebraska
Univ. Medical Center, Omaha. |
Final
rept. 30
Sep 97-29 Mar 99.
The question we addressed in this study was whether veterans
with Gulf War Illness had a higher frequency of butyryicholinesterase
(BChE) genetic variants. BChE was of interest because BChE protects
against the toxic effects of organophosphates and carbamates.
It was hypothesized that if some of the cases of Gulf War Illness
were caused by exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors (insecticides,
pyridostigmine, or nerve agents) then veterans with genetic
variants of BChE would be more susceptible to illness because
genetic variants provide less protection. We tested 226 veterans
91 of whom reported having Gulf War Illness. Blood samples were
phenotyped and genotyped. There was no association between BChE
activity and illness. However, 11 veterans
carried one atypical or one fluoride allele. Eight out
of this group had Gulf War Illness and two additional people
had symptoms of Gulf War Illness. This apparent correlation
between rare genetic variants of BChE and Gulf War Illness must
be regarded as tentative because the number of people studied
was small. If studies of larger groups confirm an association,
then it will be possible to conclude that some symptoms of Gulf
War Illness are due to low level exposure to organophosphorus
or carbamates compounds. |

public comment letters were submitted to the generic MACT docket,
inclusive of the items submitted to the separate dockets established
for each of the source categories proposed to be regulated.
Some of the comment letters received are duplicates. At proposal,
the EPA requested that commenters submit source category-specific
comments to dockets established for each of the generic MACT
source categories for which requirements were proposed and general
nonsource category specific comments to the generic MACT docket.
This request meant that some comment letters were submitted

Fluoridation
- Continued Fluoridation of community drinking water is a major
factor responsible for the decline in dental caries (tooth decay)
during the second half of the 20th century. The history of water
fluoridation is a classic example of clinical observation leading
to epidemiologic investigation and community-based public health
intervention. Although other fluoride-containing products are
available, water fluoridation remains the most equitable and
cost-effective method of delivering fluoride to all members
of most communities, regardless of age, educational attainment,
or income level. |

The
primary objective of the Advanced Emissions Control Development
Program (AECDP) is to develop practical, cost-effective strategies
for reducing the emissions of air toxics from coal-fired boilers.
The
project goal is to effectively control air toxic emissions through
the use of conventional flue gas clean-up equipment such as
electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), fabric filters (baghouses
- BH), and wet flue gas desulfurization systems (WFGD).
Development work concentrated on the capture of trace
metals, fine particulate, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen
fluoride, with an emphasis on the control of mercury.
The AECDP project is jointly funded by the US Department of
Energy's Federal Energy Technology Center (DOE), the Ohio Coal
Development Office within the Ohio Department of Development
(OCDO), and Babcock and Wilcox, a McDermott company (B and W).
This report discusses results of all three phases of the AECDP
project with an emphasis on Phase III activities. Following
the construction and evaluation of a representative air toxics
test facility in Phase I, Phase II focused on characterization
of the emissions of mercury and other air toxics and the control
of these emissions for typical operating conditions of conventional
flue gas clean-up equipment. Some general
comments that can be made about the control of air toxics while
burning a high-sulfur bituminous coal are as follows:
(1) particulate control devices such as ESP's and baghouses
do a good job of removing non-volatile trace metals, (2) particulate
control devices (ESPs and baghouses) effectively remove the
particulate-phase mercury, but the particulate-phase mercury
was only a small fraction of the total for the coals tested,
(3) wet scrubbing can effectively remove
hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride, and (4) wet
scrubbers show good potential for the removal of mercury when
operated under certain conditions, however, for certain applications,
system enhancements can be required to achieve high removals
when the scrubber is operated downstream of an ESP. [abstract

The overall objective of this investigation
was to provide information to the state of Florida regarding
the radiation exposures to workers in the phosphate industry
due to technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive
materials (TENORM) and to provide recommended methods for reducing
those exposures. This objective was met by collecting
existing radiological data specific to Florida and the phosphate
industry, and generating new data from sampling activities.
The sampling effort involved phosphate mines, chemical plants,
and outside contractors. External exposures were monitored using
scintillation (micro-R) meters, ion chambers, lithium fluoride
thermoluminescent dosimeters, and aluminum oxide dosimeters
in conjunction with time and motion studies. Internal routes
of exposure (mainly inhalation) were studied using air sampling,
gross alpha and beta counting, and deposition sample analysis.

the extent of environmental contamination and subsequent clean-up
efforts which will be required. People may be exposed to contaminated
soils and sediments in the area bordering the Columbia and Sandy
rivers. Contamination at the site may have contributed to contamination
of fish in the Columbia River, although it is difficult to determine
what effect the site may have. Workers at the Reynolds site

are distributed regionally and by emitter group. Our
data study has confirmed that in Baden-Wuerttemberg, too, coal
combustion and waste incineration are the principal emission
sources. The emitter groups waste incineration,
public large-scale firing plants, industrial firing plants,
and industrial production together account for 90% of HF and
97% of HCl emissions. The remaining fractions are attributable
to coal combustion in households and trade, thermal sludge treatment,
and landfill gas utilisation. Unfortunately it was not
possible to obtain full information on production processes
and landfill gas utilisation. (orig.). (Copyright (c) 1997 by

The
report deals with an accidental release of hydrofluoric acid
from a stainless steel plant. Calculations
of the dispersion of hydrogen fluoride were made from observations
during the accident. Within some areas of the plant, there were
risks of lethal injuries to man. The risk distance for severe
injuries was calculated to approximately 500 meters. Calculations
for a corresponding accident during summer conditions show similar
consequences. Calculations made for the most unfavorable weather
conditions shows approximately three times greater risk distance.

A module
simulating ClF3 chemical reactions with water vapor and thermodynamic
processes in the atmosphere after an accidental release has
been developed. Initial model runs simulate the rapid formation
of HF and ClO2 after an atmospheric release of ClF3. At
distances beyond the first several meters from the release point,
HF and ClO2 concentrations pose a greater threat to human health
than do ClF3 concentrations. For most of the simulations,
ClF3 concentrations rapidly fall below the IDLH. Fro releases
occurring in ambient conditions with low relative humidity and/or
ambient temperature, ClF3 concentrations
exceed the IDLH up to almost 500 m. Air and Waste Management
