RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, have been grouped into
five series. These five broad categories were established to
facilitate further development and application of environmental
technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in
related fields. The five series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
This report has been assigned to the ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS
RESEARCH series. This series describes projects and studies relating
to the tolerances of man for unhealthful substances or conditions.
This work is generally assessed from a medical viewpoint, including
physiological or psychological studies. In addition to toxicology
and other medical specialities, study areas include biomedical in-
strumentation and health research techniques utilizing animals -
but always with intended application to human health measures.

ABSTRACT
This report presents the data base developed in the National Environ-
mental Specimen Bank (NESB) Survey. The methodology utilized in
developing the mailing lists and in developing and maintaining the
data base records also is included. The NESB Survey Data Base is
computerized in the Oak Ridge Computerized Hierarchical Information
System, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830.
The NESB Survey mailing list consisted of 4500 names and addresses.
The 657 environmental specimen collections that were located and
documented in the NESB Survey Data Base include the following cate-
gories: animal, atmospheric, geological, microbiological, plant
and water. However, the majority of the collections identified are
biological in nature. Three indices of the NESB Survey Data Base
are included in this report: 1) respondents names and addresses
categorized by organizational affiliation, 2) alphabetical listing
of respondents, and 3) geographical sampling location for materials
in collections. No attempt is made in this report to evaluate the
information obtained in the NESB Survey.
This report was submitted in fulfillment of Project Number IAA005,
Interagency Agreement Number IAG-D4-0509, by the Environmental
Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is operated
by Union Carbide under contract with the U. S. ERDA. The work was
performed under the sponsorship of the Environmental Protection
Agency and was completed as of August 1975.

SECTION I
CONCLUSIONS
The National Environmental Specimen Bank (NESB) Survey has been suc-
cessful in identifying 657 extant specimen and data collections in
the United States. The collections documented in the NESB Survey
Data Base include the following categories: animal, atmospheric,
geological, microbiological, plant, and water. The NESB Survey Data
Base is unique in that it provides potential access through indices to
these collections for obtaining chemical, physical, and taxonomic
information on their contents.
The NESB Survey also has prompted a number of important considerations
for the respondents. First, it has informed them of a national interest
in their collections and the potential importance of well-documented
collection contents for environmental impact evaluations. Second,
it has prompted some of the respondents to re-evaluate their collec-
tions and their sampling and storage techniques in view of the potential
usefulness of the collections. Third, the Survey will provide a basis
for initiating information exchange among researchers and decision
makers who require access to both specimens and data that exist in
other locations. Finally, the Survey has provided an opportunity
for several federal agencies to take a closer look at the numerous
collections being maintained by various sectors of their organizations.
The NESB Survey results indicate that, in general, the collections
being stored currently in the United States are not appropriate for
retrospective chemical analyses because of collection, preparation
and storage techniques being utilized.
-------
SECTION II
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The unique contents of the National Environmental Specimen Bank
(NESB) Survey Data Base provide identifications of both specimen
and data collections from many areas of the United States. We
strongly recommend that this Data Base be maintained and continu-
ously updated through entries of (i) newly identified collections,
(ii) additional information on previously documented collections
through follow-up activities, and (iii) evaluations of documented
collections by the National Bureau of Standards.
2. The NESB Survey covered the biological fields in much greater
depth than the medical, geological, hydrological, and atmospheric
fields because of the strong biological and ecological emphasis
of the directories utilized in preparing the mailing list. For
this reason, we recommend that follow-up activities concentrate
in these latter areas. There was no attempt made to cover the
private sector because of (i) private laboratories not always
being contractually free to share data and specimens and (ii) an
expected small return for a great deal of time and effort expended.
3. One of the comments most frequently received from respondents
was that the NESB Survey form was not suitable for describing
curated systematics collections. It was not intended for this
purpose. The Association of Systematics Collections has a project
underway which will catalog such collections and make the accumu-
lated information available to those who need it. However, there
are some very old curated collections which may be suitable for
inclusion in the NESB (i.e., invertebrate shell collections).
More of these collections should be identified as to their use-
fulness and availability for chemical analysis.
4. Our experience with the NESB Survey has resulted in the following
recommendations specific to the Survey form:
a) Professional design of the Survey form, for both appearance
and clarity of questions.
b) Separate records should be input for each discrete type of
collection.
c) Additional questions should be added to the form to permit
more adequate descriptions of collections which are not
biological.
d) Sample classification should include the subject category
codes beside the written classification and recipients would
be asked to check the appropriate boxes.
-------
e) Space for a narrative characterization of each specimen collec-
tion by the recipient should be added.
f) Recipients should be asked to indicate their organizational
affiliation such as private laboratory, specific government
agency, etc. Attempts were made by us to identify and classify
organizations but this could be more accurately done by the
respondents.

SECTION III
INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES OF THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIMEN BANKING SYSTEM
The need for a National Environmental Specimen Banking System is based
on the current inability to define the deleterious effects of pollutants
on our health and our environment. Both inadequate environmental moni-
toring data and inadequate synthesis of the available environmental
reconnaissance data contribute to this problem. With this need in mind,
the concept of the National Environmental Specimen Banking System
(NESB) was initially formulated at an EPA Symposium in February 1973
and a National Academy of Sciences Workshop for the Subcommittee on
the Geochemical Environment in Relation to Health and Disease in May
of 1973. The Environmental Protection Agency initiated the resulting
effort with joint funding through a grant from the National Science
Foundation's RANN Program. This effort was designed to meet the fol-
lowing objectives: 1) to conduct a survey and evaluation of existing
specimen collections in the United States, 2) to organize a planning
committee to evaluate the feasibility of such a banking system, 3) fol-
lowing the evaluation, to develop a five-year plan for carrying out
the work, and 4) to develop a program to establish criteria for sample
collection, preparation, storage, and analysis.
The EPA was chosen for this effort because of their experience in sev-
eral programs dealing with the collection and storage of human tissues.
It was decided that the primary activity for the first year would center
around developing the survey of existing systems. The Environmental
Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was chosen
to perform the survey because of their involvement in both the develop-
ment of specimen banking systems and information handling. Concurrently,
the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) was involved in an evaluation
of various storage techniques and evaluation and development of analytical
capabilities for stored specimens. Therefore, it was decided that
the conduct of the survey should be performed in close collaboration
with the activities of the National Bureau of Standards.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE NESB SURVEY
The purpose of this Survey was to attempt to identify those places in
the continental United States that are currently or have been storing
materials collected in either research or monitoring activities. The
objectives of the Survey were to identify 1) where collections were
located, 2) who maintained the collections, 3) what the collections
consisted of, 4) what analyses had been performed on the materials
in the collections, 5) how the sample collections had been preserved
-------
and stored, and 6) accessibility of the stored materials and associated
data to both research and regulatory personnel. The Survey was designed
to include collections in the following areas: atmospheric, geological,
human tissue, animal tissue, plant tissue, and water samples. During
early discussion among personnel from NSF/RANN, EPA, NBS, and ORNL,
a list of key items for the Survey was developed and included in our
proposal to EPA (Appendix A). From this list, the Survey sheets were
developed as is described in Section IV. It was realized from the out-
set that the Survey could not possibly cover all appropriate collections
and that a number of contacts would be made that would be unproductive.
For these reasons, the Survey itself is a continuing activity which
will be updated by adding information on newly identified collections
and by follow-up information on collections already identified. In
addition, it has been agreed that all information pertinent to these
collections will be recorded on the ORNL computerized data base includ-
ing the evaluation of the collections being performed by the National
Bureau of Standards.
ASSOCIATION OF SYSTEMATICS COLLECTIONS COOPERATION
During the planning stages of the Survey, contacts were made with the
Association of Systematics Collections (ASC). The ASC, through its
individual societies, was surveying the systematics resources within
the United States. This survey was not complete at the time contacts
were made. However, the ASC office sent a memo to its institutional
representatives explaining the NESB Survey project and the rationale
behind it. This memo resulted in additional contacts with individuals
who were maintaining pertinent collections. The ASC also agreed to
act as a clearinghouse for collections in danger of being discarded.
Information concerning such collections was transmitted to Dr. Stephen
R. Edwards, Executive Secretary of the ASC. He, in turn, contacted
individuals who might be interested in acquiring additional specimens.
-------
SECTION IV
DEVELOPMENT OF SURVEY FORM AND INDICES
SURVEY FORM
The survey form was developed from the "Evaluation Criteria for Existing
Environmental Specimen Collections," (Appendix A), in the ORNL research
proposal to the EPA and is included in Appendix B along with the descrip-
tor for completing the form. The form was reviewed and approved by
EPA, NBS, and ORNL personnel. In formatting the survey form, attempts
were made to make answering the questions as easy as possible. The
recipient's name and address were put on each form before it was mailed,
check boxes were used where possible, and the form itself was designed
to fit on two sides of one page.
The form was designed with four primary goals in mind: 1) for ease of
completion by the recipient, 2) to secure enough pertinent information
for collection evaluation by the National Bureau of Standards, 3) to
permit documentation of diverse types of collections using a single
form, and 4) to obtain accurate descriptions of the specimen collections.
These goals were only partially fulfilled.
The major shortcoming of the form was that it was designed to describe
a single type of collection. When information concerning diverse types
of collections was described on one form, the information has proven
to be difficult to interpret accurately for computer input.
The form appears to be more applicable to biological collections. This
bias is primarily due to the recognition that biological collections
are the most difficult to collect, preserve, and store in a manner which
will not contaminate the specimens and that many diverse methods are
currently being used, depending upon the purpose for which the specimens
were collected.
SURVEY FORM FORMAT AND INDICES
The individual specimen collection records are categorized in two
ways. First, they are listed by component of interest with "See
Also" references under the component heading. If the component of
interest is only one of several components analyzed, the "See Also"
references indicate other collections categorized under different
components but also analyzed for the component indicated. Second,
within the component of interest heading, the records are sorted as
to collection content. Thus, the microbiological, plant, animal, etc.,
collections are grouped together.
-------
Three Indices are Included with the published survey information.
First, an index is provided on the names, addresses, and telephone num-
bers of persons to contact concerning individual collections. This
listing is categorized as to organizational affiliation. Contacts in
charge of state and federal government, private laboratory, university,
and personal collections are grouped under these headings and sorted
by state. The second index is a simple alphabetical listing of the
names of contacts, and a third index is provided for sampling location.
This index lists only the states from which environmental samples have
been obtained. The numbers associated with the indices refer to individ-
ual record numbers in the primary listing.
-------
SECTION V
DEVELOPMENT OF MAILING LIST AND MATERIAL
MAILING LIST
A distribution list for the initial letter consisting of 4,130 names,
addresses, and some telephone numbers was prepared. This list was
produced by manually scanning 12,000 records from the ORNL Information
Center Complex (ICC) Directory and 4,120 records from The Institute
of Ecology (TIE) Directory. These separate lists were subset, the
identifier table was changed to make the two subsets compatible, and
they were merged to form a new data base. In addition, over 600 names
and addresses were added to this core base from various sources such
as government agency directories, scanning over 100 college catalogs,
suggestions from individuals, and other miscellaneous directories.
These names were chosen by field of interest, job description, and
geographic location. The list was checked as carefully as was possi-
ble to eliminate multiple mailings to university departments, govern-
ment agencies, etc. Corrections and deletions were then made on the
master list which contained approximately 7,500 names to bring it down
to the total of 4,130. The entire master list was used to produce
computer-generated mailing labels for each letter.
Reference cards were included with each initial letter, asking the
recipients to furnish us with the names and addresses of other persons
or institutions maintaining collections of interest. We received
approximately 800 referrals. Many of the referrals were to persons
or institutions we had previously contacted. These duplicates were
discarded and the remaining referrals (approximately 450) were con-
tacted. The percentage of forms returned from the referrals was
considerably higher than from the original mailing (32% vs. 12%).
MAILING MATERIALS
It was decided that initially we would mail letters of intent (Appen-
dix C) explaining the objectives and purpose of the survey and include
in these letters a card to be returned which would indicate whether
or not a collection existed and the postcard for referencing other
collections of which the recipient was aware. Following receipt of
the postcard indicating the presence of a specimen collection or a
data collection, a second set of materials (Appendix B) consisting
of a letter explaining the survey form to be filled out, a descriptor
to assist in completing the survey form, and the form itself was
mailed. There were numerous instances where telephone calls were
required to clarify some of the questions on the survey form.
-------
SECTION VI
DATA BASE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
NESB SURVEY DATA BASE
The original mailing list was subset to produce a separate data base
of names and addresses of the individuals who returned forms. The
records of this subset contained the following information:
Name
Address
Telephone Number
Alphabetical Sort Code
State
Zip Code
Country
The information submitted on the survey forms was added to this existing
information. Thus, it was not necessary to reinput information which
had previously been input into the computer. The original mailing list
is being maintained as a separate data base. It has proven to be use-
ful in locating names, addresses, and telephone numbers for other pur-
poses, as well as for record maintenance.
Each question has been described as a discrete piece of information
using alphanumeric field identifiers which can easily be matched to
each numbered question; e.g.,
Identifier matches Question 6, Intent or rationale for
collection. On the final published copy, reads as "Intent
or rationale for collection".
Identifiers have also been added to refer to the necessary codes which
did not appear on the form such as sort codes for type of collection.
Long lists of species or genus have not been input, but it has been
noted that these are available. Publication descriptions of papers
which have resulted from research connected with the collections have
been included for each record when available.
All of the information furnished by the recipients of the survey form
has been recorded. Many of the collections did not lend themselves
to the type of documentation requested or the information was simply
not available.
-------
The Input has been keyed to sort the records in a variety of ways.
They can be sorted by:
Alphabetical Sort Code
State
Zip Code
Type of Collection
Purpose of Collection
Type of Institution Holding Collection
Component of Interest
These sort capabilities may be used for primary, secondary, tertiary,
etc., sorting. For instance, a primary sort could be made on type of
institution, the next sort on state, and the tertiary sort on zip
code. This would produce a listing that groups all records from univer-
sities, federal and state agencies together. Under the major groupings
(universities, federal and state agencies) the records would be grouped
by state, then by city.
Information can be retrieved by the keywords; city, state, county,
geographical location, type of collection, component of interest,
purpose of collection, or name of contact. It may also be retrieved
by "string-searching" (i.e., looking for a desired description contained
in the text either in all fields or in a particular field). An example
of this might be the word "Glass". All records which contain this
word would be subset to produce a listing of all collections stored
in glass containers. To limit this listing, the words "Glass" and
"Plants" could be combined to produce a listing of all collections
of plants stored in glass containers. Thus, simple Boolian logic can
be used effectively to search this data base.
RECORD MAINTENANCE
The original mailing list has been used for record-keeping purposes.
Every card returned to us has been recorded on this list under STATUS.
Five different kinds of information are recorded: "Outstanding" meaning
a letter was sent but no reply was received, "No" meaning the recipient
does not have a collection, "Yes" meaning a recipient does have a
collection, "Form S" - a form was sent and "Form R" - a form was returned.
As the STATUS for each record changes, these were noted on the file.
In addition, each returned card was filed in a card file. Separate
files were maintained for the "Yes" cards, "No" cards and Reference
cards. The original forms were reproduced and kept in a separate file.
Three copies of the returned forms were made. One copy was sent to
NBS for evaluation, one sent to EPA, and the final copy was marked
for computer input.

-------
SECTION VII
DISCUSSION
Forty-five hundred letters stating the NESB Survey intention were
mailed. Of these, there were 908 "Yes" responses, 935 "No" responses,
and 455 referrals to other collections. Following receipt of the
"Yes" responses, 903 survey forms were mailed, of which 671 were re-
turned and copies forwarded to the National Bureau of Standards.
The information contained in the returned survey sheets was entered
into the NESB Survey Data Base (Appendix D) with the following excep-
tions: 1) deletion because of insufficient information, 2) deletion
because of inappropriateness for the NESB Survey, 3) deletion because
of receipt of more than one form on a given collection, and 4) deletion
by request of the respondent. A total of 14 collections were deleted
from the survey sheets returned resulting in a total of 657 collections
identified in the data base. As indicated in SECTION IV, three indices
have been prepared for the NESB Survey Data Base (respondent's name
and address categorized by organizational affiliation, alphabetical
listing of respondents, and sampling location) and are included in
Appendix D. The distributions of specimen collections identified in
the NESB Survey are illustrated in Tables 1-4. Of the collections
Identified, the majority were biological, and in most cases biological
collections in museums which are not necessarily available or useful
for chemical analyses. The majority of the collections identified
as useful for chemical analyses had been used for trace element evalua-
tions. A smaller number of collections had been utilized for organic
analyses. The collections identified in the NESB Survey (Appendix D)
are currently being evaluated by the National Bureau of Standards as
to their appropriateness as potential "standard methods" of collection,
handling, analysis, and storage of environmental samples.

Dear Sir:
A National Environmental Specimen Banking System is being proposed to
ensure that research scientists and policymakers will continue to have
available a comprehensive description of, and access to, environmental
specimen collections. Therefore, in cooperation with the Environmental
Protection Agency, the National Bureau of Standards, and the National
Science Foundation (RANN), we are performing a survey of existing spec-
imen collections in the United States. We wish to determine where the
collections are located, their content, why they were collected, and
how the samples are stored. The collections identified as relevant to
this banking system would be used for chemical analyses, which would
provide opportunities for retrospective baseline studies of trace con-
taminants and environmental monitoring studies. Consequently, we are
interested in collections containing materials which may be made avail-
able for this purpose.
Materials of interest include microorganisms, human and animal tissues,
insects, seeds, geological material, soils and sediments, water, air,
and others. We are also interested in valid, well-documented collec-
tions of data on environmental samples even if the original samples
have not been retained.
The information accumulated by this survey is to be assembled into a
computerized data base and examined by personnel from the aforementioned
agencies and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The survey data will be in-
valuable in determining the feasibility of such a National Environmental
Specimen Banking System. It will help to establish protocols for future
sample collection, handling, storage, and analyses by allowing comparisons
of existing methods. This information would also identify the needs for
augmenting existing collections.

-------
If you or your institution have such a collection, we are requesting that
you fill out the attached white postcard, check the "Yes" box, and we will
contact you for additional information. If you do not have a collection,
please check the "No" box. This will help us keep our records of contacts
in order and prevent us from sending duplicate requests.
If you are aware of a collection held by another agency, institution, or
company which you feel should be included, fill out the blue card with
the name and address of a person to contact and return both cards. Please
do not return the blue card unless you are indicating a collection other
than your own.
Your immediate attention will certainly be appreciated—we would like to
have your reply by . If you have any questions regarding the
survey or the proposed National Environmental Specimen Bank, please feel
free to contact any of the following:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Re are certainly
discarding material of definite value, i.e.,

because we do not have adequate storage space.
Routine operation provide "back-up" samples in
cases of loss or questionable analysis. For
example, by 1 Jan. 75 we will have on storage 450
samples of Lake Superior sediment which will be
analyzed only for TKN, TP, ZN, CU, COD, and
particle size. After that they will be discarded
unless some outside agency is interested in
cooperative work. This is a shame but we cannot
store material indefinitely and do not have
funding for further analyzes. This is important
because baseline data on Lake Superior is very
poor and such collections are not likely to be
repeated in the near future.

PURPOSE OF COLLECTION: Research
SAMPLING LOCUTION:
GEOGRAPHICAL AREA: Worldwide
PRESAHPLING CONDITIONS: Bird egg collection
includes both pre- and post-DDT material.
DATES OF SAMPLING: Approx. 1850 to 1971
NUMBER OF SAMPLES: 25, 000 bird skins, 115, 000
sets of eggs, 12, 000 nests
RESULTS OF ANALYSES: Host post-DDT egg specimens
in this collection show evidence of DDE,
polychlorinated biphenyls, etc. Host current
references on topic based partly on this
collection.
SAMPLING METHODS: Host specimens obtained for
reasons other than environmental monitoring
purposes
STOSASE LIFE OF SAMPLE: Indefinite
AVAILABILITY OF SAHPLES AND/OR DATA: Facilities
are open to any researcher. Data can be supplied
to researchers upon request, depending upon
volume of material needed
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Of our collections, the
egg material has been and is current!; being
widely used for pesticide monitoring purposes,
and it is highly likely that the skin and nest
collections also have environmental monitoring
applications. Both our egg and nest collections
are by far the largest on the North American
continent. All specimens in these collections
are housed in conventional synoptic order, are
accompanied by full field data, and are available
for any legitimate research purpose, including,
in some cases, techniques requiring destruction
of the specimens. All three collections are
worldwide in scope, but are naturally strongest
for North America. The; also contain important
material from the Neotropical region and East
Africa.

collection, consisting of skins accompanied by
skulls or skeletons for mammals, skins or
skeletons for birds, and entire preserved
specimens or skeletons for herpetological
species. Some specimens of birds and mammals are
also preserved in spirits; Re also have a
collection of frozen tissue for electrophoretic
investigation, and, increasingly, are collecting
live mammals for taking chromosome samples, which
are on slides, and part of the regular
collection; All of our specimens are catalogued
(there are three general catalogues, for birds,
for mammals, and for herps), and in addition, for
mammals, and in part for herps, there are
alphabetical-by-taxon catalogues. Field notes
taken in Higgins Eternal Ink are maintained,
bound, as part of the documentation; original
field tags for skulls and skins are also made- out
in Eternal Ink and are always retained with the

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: In the Section of
Wildlife Research we have various specimens of
animals, soil, and plants collected usually for
specific research objectives. Many of the
specimens are retained in storage after the data
have been recorded but ours is not a collection
in the usual nuseun sense. Host of our specimens
are of birds and mammals. We have sooe whole
specinens but nore bones, skeletons, skulls,
feathers, etc. that are of interest for various
reasons. As an exanple, I have several thousand
raccoon bacula collected during the past 25 years
in Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois. These bones
were collected in connection with a general study
of the raccoon. I have saved the bones and now
plan to analyze a sample of then for lead
residues to determine what has happened in this
species during the tine the use of leaded
gasoline has increased several fold. A specific
request to ne would indicate if we have any of a
particular specimen of interest and the
conditions under which some or all of the
specimens could be used.

This report presents the data base developed in the National Environmental
Specimen Bank (NESB) Survey. The methodology utilized in developing the mailing
lists and in developing and maintaining the data base records also is included.
The NESB Survey Data Base is computerized in the Oak Ridge Computerized
Hierarchical Information System, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge,
Tennessee 37830.
The NESB Survey mailing list consisted of 4500 names and addresses. The
657 environmental specimen collections that were located and documented in the
NESB Survey Data Base include the following categories: animal, atmospheric,
geological, microbiological, plant and water. However, the majority of the
collections identified are biological in nature. Three indices of the NESB Survey
Data Base are included in this report; (1) respondents names and addresses categorizec
by organizational affiliation, (2) alphabetical listing of respondents, and
(3) geographical sampling location for materials in collections. No attempt is
made in this report to evaluate the information obtained in the NESB Survey.
