FOREWORD
Man and his environment must be protected from the adverse
effects of pesticides, radiation, noise and other forms of pollu-
tion, and the unwise management of solid waste. Efforts to protect
the environment require a focus that recognizes the interplay between
the components of our physical environment—air, water, and land.
The National Environmental Research Centers provide this multidisci-
plinary focus through programs engaged in:
© studies on the effects of environmental
contaminants on man and the biosphere, and
o a search for ways to prevent contamination
and to recycle valuable resources.
Under Section 212 of Public Law 91-512, the Resource Recovery
Act of 1970, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is charged
with preparing a comprehensive report and plan for the creation of
a system of National Disposal Sites for the storage and disposal of
hazardous wastes. The overall program is being directed jointly by
the Solid and Hazardous Waste Research Laboratory, Office of Research
and Development, National Environmental Research Center, Cincinnati,
and the Office of Solid Waste Management Programs, Office of Hazard-
ous Materials Control. Section 212 mandates, in part, that recom-
mended methods of reduction, neutralization, recovery, or disposal
of the materials be determined. This determination effort has been
completed and prepared into this 16-volume study. The 16 volumes
consist of profile reports summarizing the definition of adequate
waste management and evaluation of waste management practices for
over 500 hazardous materials. In addition to summarizing the defini-
tion and evaluation efforts, these reports also serve to designate a
material as a candidate for a National Disposal Site, if the material
meets criteria based on quantity, degree of hazard, and difficulty of
disposal. Those materials which are hazardous but not designated as
candidates for National Disposal Sites, are then designated as candi-
dates for the industrial or municipal disposal sites.

1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the published data on
the toxicity of hazardous wastes in order to recommend acceptable levels
of exposure of the working and general human populations and the ecology.
The recommended levels of exposure via the air, water, and soil were used
to evaluate the adequacy of waste handling and disposal methods.
Over 500 hazardous wastes or materials were selected by the
Booz-Allen Applied Research, Inc. report as candidates for evaluation.
The report defines hazardous wastes for the purpose of the study as:
"Hazardous waste materials are defined as those
materials or combinations of materials which
require special management techniques because
of their acute or chronic effects on the health
or welfare of the public (or those individuals
who handle them when they are disposed of by
waste management processes; e.g., storage,
transport, incineration, sanitary landfilling,
composting, dumping, industrial waste treatment."
This definition is quite broad and under this definition current
levels of hazardous wastes in the environment may not be dangerous, but
because of their potential threat to human health, release of these
substances to the environment must be carefully controlled.
In setting air quality standards for sulfur oxides, the criteria
p
document prepared for the Environmental Protection Agency included a
3
tabulation of 79 cause-effect statements. It has been estimated that
between $40,000 to $80,000 is needed to conduct a complete literature
survey and develop a criteria document with recommended standards for
a toxic substance. Thus at present funding levels, the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health predicts that about 20 to 25 packages
can be produced annually. However, there is the need to recommend interim
standards as early as possible and to refine these at a latter time.
1
-------
Currently, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has
published Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) as a means of occupational health
and environment control, but has also requested information on a number
of toxic substances to develop criteria documents and biologic standards.
In the ensuing study, TLVs were used as initial toxicity criteria and were
supplemented with other toxicity data available in the literature as a
means of developing provisional limiting concentrations for exposure to
hazardous materials in air, water, and soil.
Since quantitative values for TLVs were immediately available
for most materials, the latter served as a rapid index of relative toxicity
and priority for environmental control. However, it was recognized that
TLVs, at least in earlier stages of development, vary in their degree of
thoroughness of documentation based on experimentation on laboratory
animals, and human clinical and epidemiological investigation. Also, a
distinction must be made between air quality standards for the ambient
air, i.e., outdoor air, and threshold limit values for work room atmospheres,
The latter are for eight hours per day, five days per week exposure of
healthy adult workers. In contrast to this, air quality standards are for
24 hours per day, seven days per week exposure of all living and nonliving
things. These differences were reconciled as discussed in the study.
2. TECHNICAL APPROACH
Toxicity Data Sources
Toxicity data were obtained from the open literature. Although
Threshold Limit Values for 1970 have been officially published in the
4
Federal Register, current values and documentation for 1971 were obtained
from the publications of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists. ' The TLVs were compared with the recommended maximum
atmospheric concentrations (MACs) documented by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association.
-------
Data on reported toxic concentrations for man or animals were
obtained from the Toxic Substances Annual List for 1971 prepared for the
Q
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The latter data
were useful for assessing the hazards from acute exposure episodes, but
TLVs and other data were required for defining provisional limiting
concentrations for ambient air and water.
The Battelle Memorial Institute publication "Control of Spillage
g
of Hazardous Polluting Substances' was used as a major source for water
quality parameters such as fish toxicity and biological oxygen demand (BOD)
data. Additional fish toxicity data were obtained from articles in the
journal Sewage and Industrial Wastes and the text "River Pollution,!!,
Causes and Effects" by Louis Klein. Additional specific sources of data
are cited in the discussion.
Organization of Data
Although engineering considerations dictate that hazardous
materials should be grouped in order of relative toxicities in order to
prioritize the need for environmental control, the materials in the
toxicity study were grouped according to compound classes. This approach
was taken since where toxicity data on a particular substance were
inadequate judgement could be made based on the data available on a series
of structurally related substances.
In general, for each class of compound a table was prepared
tabulating toxicity data such as the TLV, MAC, and toxic concentration for
man and animals. In addition, a table was prepared tabulating parameters
relevant to water quality such as percent theoretical BOD,-, fish toxicity
critical concentration, and other aquatic toxicity data.
In this study, the percent theoretical BOD,- was taken as a measure
of persistence of a substance in the environment. The cut-off point for
persistence was set at a value less than 20 percent of the theoretical
BOD,-; i.e., any substance with a value less than 20 percent was considered
to be persistent.
3
-------
The fish toxicity critical concentration was defined by the
9
Batelle report as the minimum concentration of a substance which would
produce detrimental effects. Depending upon the availability of data,
a combination of TL values and threshold values for effects on fish was
m
used in defining the critical concentration.
Calculation of Limiting Concentrations for Air
Ambient air quality standards are based on extensive evaluation of
acute and chronic dose response criteria for exposure of all living and
nonliving things. However, until this huge task can be achieved for all
500 candidate materials, provisional limiting concentrations have been
calculated in this study based on threshold limit values.
As an example, if a worker inhales 10 cubic meters of air during
hr wor
inahled is:
an 8-hr work day, the amount of acetonitrile (TLV 40 ppm or 70 mg/M )
70 X 10 or 700 mg in 8 hours
70 X 20 or 1400 mg in 16 hours
70 X 30 or 2100 mg in 24 hours
Although the amounts^ inhaled are those indicated, they do not represent the
amounts absorbed into the blood stream, since the values must be corrected
for the efficiency of pulmonary jibsorption. However, since the factors for
efficiency of pulmonary absorption were not available for all materials
under study, it was assumed that efficiency of absorption was\100;percent
" ^^_^/
as an approximation and for comparative purposes.
However, this calculated 24 hour, limiting concentration for
ambient air is not adequate for several reasons. According to the concept
of the TLV, the amount daily taken into the blood stream is noninjurious,
but since the TLV is a time-weighed concentration for an 8-hr work day
or 40-hr work week, the time-weighed average permits excursion above and
below the limit. The amount by which the threshold limits may be exceeded
for short periods without injury to health depends upon a number of factors
including acute toxicity, cumulative effects, and the frequency and duration
of such periods.
-------
In addition, according to Haber's law, the concentration (C) of
a chemical multiplied by the time of exposure to the chemical (T) is a
constant (K):
.K equals C X T
Ignoring correction for efficiency of pulmonary absorption, the magnitude
of an exposure and therefore the magnitude of toxic or physiologic effects
is the product C X T. If the effects of a chemical are cumulative,
equivalent effects would be produced by maintaining exposure to a high
concentration over a short period of time or a low concentration over a
longer period of time. Therefore, for chronic 24 hr exposure of the
human population to acetonitrile in ambient air, the provisional limiting
concentration should be set at a level less than that calculated above
based on the TLV.
If it is assumed that the basis for the original TLV or recommended
MAC involved application of a 10-fold safety factor to known toxic concentra-
tions, the following table may be constructed for acetonitrile:
Safety Factor Noninjurous Concentration (TLV) Time
o
10-fold 40 ppm or 70 mg/M 8 hours
100-fold 4.0 ppm 7.0 mg/M 16 hours
1000-fold 0.4 ppm 0.7 mg/M3 24 hours
The day has been divided into three, 8-hr intervals and the provisional
limiting concentration for acetonitrile has been decreased on a logarithmic
basis. Comparison of the derived 24-hr TLV with the toxicity data used to
document the 8-hr TLV or MAC showed this 1-imiting value to be below
any concentration reported to have an adverse effect.
Table No. 1 presents a comparison of calculated provisional
limits for air for a number of substances with other published ambient air
12
quality standards. There is remarkably good agreement between the
calculated values for metals and those promulgated by the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics. The calculated values for organic compounds differ
from the promulgated by the U.S.S.R., but the variance may be due in part
. 5
-------
to the lack of application of factors for efficiency of pulmonary absorption
and in part to the physiological techniques used by the U.S.S.R. in
deriving standards for organic compounds. The latter techniques are not
well documented outside the Soviet Union. However, the recent use of
physiological techniques in this country may necessitate refining TLV
values in the near future.
Calculation of Limiting Concentrations for Mater and Soil
There are not many chronic drinking water studies on hazardous .
materials which would facilitate calculation of limiting concentrations
for water for these substances. Various investigators have used dietary
studies on such substances in animals as a means to determine no-effect
levels and by application of suitable 10- or 100-fold safety factors have
extrapolated safe levels for oral intake in humans. However, there are
large gaps in the literature and a consistent procedure was considered
desirable. The procedure developed for this study is described in the
following section.
13
In lieu of other toxicity data, Stokinger and Woodward have
calculated limiting concentrations for water based on the TLVs of
hazardous materials. The noninjurious amount taken into the blood stream
by inhalation was assumed to be the amount which can be taken orally in
water.
For example, if a worker inhales 10 cubic meters of air during
o
an 8-hr work day, the amount of barium (TLV 0.5 mg/M ) inhaled is
0.5 X 10 or 5 mg. If the maximal daily intake of water is 2 liters, the
oral intake limit of barium per day is 2.5 mg/1 or 2.5 ppm. Correcting
for efficiency of pulmonary and gastrointestinal absorption, the limiting
concentration is 2 ppm.
Table No. 2 presents a comparison of the calculated limits for
water for a number of metals with published data on chronic drinking water
14
studies and Public Health Service drinking water standards. The chronic

studies of Schroeder et. al., evaluated the innate toxicities of each
of 23 trace elements in mice and rats by exposing them from the time of
weaning until natural death to subtoxic doses in drinking water. In this
way, effects on growth, survival, and longevity can be measured, and the
incidence of tumors and microscopic lesions obtained, compared to an
equal number of controls. The results of these studies are given in
Table No. 3.
In a reasonable number of instances, the calculated limits for
water obtained by the procedure of Stokinger and Woodward are of the
approximate order of magnitude of the subtoxic doses administered to mice
and rats by Schroeder et. al. Although the latter were reasonably close
to no-effect levels, similar studies and other toxicity data have led to
the downward revision of drinking water standards for man shown in the
last column of Table No. 2.
As a rough approximation in most instances, the calculated limits
for water and Schroeder's values can be reconciled with current drinking
water standards by application of a 100-fold safety factor to the calculated
limits and the lowest drinking water study level. Therefore, in calculating
provisional limits for water, for metals, published drinking water standards
were used as first choice. Where no drinking water standards were
available, 1/100 of the reported lowest chronic drinking water study level
was used. Finally, if neither drinking water standards or chronic study
levels were available, 1/100 of the calculated limit for water was used
as the provisional limit.
Once limiting concentrations for individual metals were established,
the limiting concentrations for corresponding compounds of the metals
were expressed in terms of the compound as its metal equivalent. Since
the limiting concentrations of metal compounds for man expressed as
metal equivalents were found to be below the reported fish toxicity
critical concentrations for these compounds, identical limits were proposed
for man and aquatic organisms with the following exceptions.

-------
In the case of combinations such as lead arsenate, the limiting
concentration was expressed as equivalents of arsenic since a limit
lower than that of other inorganic lead compounds is recommended due
to the double hazard of lead and arsenic toxicity. In the case of
combinations such as sodium dichromate and potassium permanganate where
limits for sodium have not been specified, the limits were expressed as
equivalents of chromium or manganese. In the case of cyanides and alkali
metal chlorides, fluorides, nitrates, and sulfates the limits were
expressed as equivalents of chloride, fluoride, nitrate, and sulfate,
respectively; since drinking water standards have been specified for these
radicals.
Establishing limiting concentrations for organic compounds
presented the greatest difficulty. Table No. 4 presents the initial
limits calculated for man for a number of compounds by the procedure
of Stokinger and Woodward. Comparison of these values with the reported
fish toxicity critical concentrations indicates that in many instances the
calculated limit exceeded the minimum concentration producing detrimental
effects in fish. In addition, as shown in Table No. 5, the calculated
values may greatly exceed the known odor and taste thresholds for man.
In lieu of additional toxicity or annoyance criteria, a
100-fold safety factor was applied to these values to derive the final
provisional limiting concentrations. Sustantiation for this approach was
provided by the chronic drinking water studies tabulated in Table No. 6
which allow calculation of no-effect levels for several of the compounds.
The provisional limiting concentrations obtained for man were
in general below the reported fish toxicity critical concentrations per se.
However, as an additional safety feature, the values were compared
with "safe" concentrations for fish calculated as follows.
27
Sprague states that for some years 0.1 of the 48 hour IC™
have been used as an indication of safe levels for fish. Generally
speaking, recommendations for maximum levels are 0.1 to 0.05 toxic units

measures of persistence were taken as reported percent of the theoretical
BODg and data on the accumulation of toxic substances in the ecological
cycle, e.g., halogenated pesticides such as DDT and certain metals such
as mercury.
In the tabulations which follow, the calculated provisional
limits for water for man are compared with the calculated provisional
limits for water, for fish obtained as specified above. An added advantage
of the calculated limits for fish is that where TLVs are not available
to calculate limits for man, the fish limits may serve as tentative limits
for man.
In addition, fish have been used as indicators of water safety
for livestock as shown in Table No. 7 taken from the report of the
28
Committee of Water Quality Criteria. The calculated limits for water
28
are also below the crop injury thresholds reported for a number of
compounds classed as herbicides as shown in Table No. 8, and therefore,
these limits are adequate for provisional limits for soil.
Finally, the calculated limits for metals for water (man) are
compatable with the trace elements tolerances for irrigation water
28
proposed by the Committee on Water Quality Criteria.
