Las Vegas, NV 89193-3478
The mission of the Environmental Monitoring Systems
Laboratory is to develop, evaluate, and apply methods and
strategies for monitoring the environment. That mission
is fulfilled through the following major programs:
ADVANCED ANALYTICAL METHODS: Development and
evaluation of innovative techniques for sample extraction
and analysis of organic and inorganic contaminants in
complex environmental matrices. Advanced techniques
such as Liquid Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry,
Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy, Gas
Chromatography, Inductively Coupled Plasma
Spectroscopy, and Immunoassay are developed and
evaluated.
ADVANCED MONITORING METHODS: Research directed
at providing monitoring methods that are more reliable,
more rapid or simpler to use than existing methods.
Overhead remote sensing, aerial photography,
multispectral scanner and laser fluorosensing
technologies, airborne laser systems, and geophysical
techniques are tools used to detect waste discharges,
locate waste disposal sites, identify erosion, assess air
particulate problems, and monitor pollutants in soils and
in ground water.
MONITORING NETWORK DESIGN: The Laboratory has
long been in the forefront of monitoring design—a concept
that advocates a multimedia approach to environmental
monitoring emphasizing proper selection of critical
receptors, optimum siting, and number of samples,
through planning and an understanding of how pollutants
are transported from the source to the receptor.
Geostatistics play a major role through use of data from
a preliminary sampling to design a sampling network
which establishes the optimum distance between
sampling points.
QUALITY ASSURANCE: In an effort to support the Agency's
attention to the quality, assurance aspects of
environmental sampling and analysis, validated analytical
test methods are developed, and standards and reference
materials are distributed to laboratories throughout the
country. These laboratories' performance, along with the
precision, accuracy, and ruggedness of the analytical
protocols are then evaluated. Quality assurance support
and data audits are provided for the Superfund Contractor
Laboratory Program. The Laboratory, in cooperation with
the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, has established a
modern, fully-equipped Quality Assurance Laboratory to
support EPA's Superfund Program.
EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT: Human exposure assessment
provides critical information required to make risk
estimates for environmental pollutants. A comprehensive
approach is required to develop simultaneous information
on sources, exposure, dose, effects, and control. Data from
an exposure monitoring test site in Chattanooga,
Tennessee, will be collected into a data base and used
for model validation and methods evaluation. Initial
emphasis was on fate in soil, streams, and ponds; current
research is towards indoor air pollution problems.
RADIATION MONITORING/'OFF-SITE RADIATION
SAFETY: Mobile monitoring teams are deployed around
the Nevada Test Site during nuclear tests. They are
prepared to assist in directing protective actions for off-
site residents should that become necessary. When not
engaged in this activity, the teams conduct programs to
measure off-site radiation levels through air and ground-
water monitoring systems, and for sampling milk, cattle,
and wildlife to detect any inadvertent contamination. A
whole-body counting facility to measure radioactivity in
body tissues is operated at the Laboratory. A network of
community monitoring stations, along with an increased
communications program, have enhanced public
confidence in monitoring results.
ACID DEPOSITION: The Laboratory is responsible for
providing logistical and analytical support, standardized
methods, and a comprehensive quality assurance program
for the National Surface Water Survey. Providing analytical
methods, analytical support and quality assurance for the
soils portion of the Direct Delayed Response Project, and
evaluating the monitoring methods to be used in the Acid
Deposition Monitoring Program are also major
assignments for the Laboratory.

Washington, DC 20460
The Office of Health and Environmental Assessment
(OHEA) is responsible for assessing the effects of
environmental pollutants in varying exposure situations
on human health and ecological systems and determining
the degree of risks from these exposures. The risk
assessments performed by OHEA are used by the Agency
as the scientific basis for regulatory and enforcement
decisions. OHEA's responsibilities also include the
development of risk assessment guidelines and
methodologies, and recommendations for new research
efforts that will better support future EPA risk assessment
activities.
Comprehensive methodologies are prepared for health
assessments of both single chemicals and complex
mixtures. Technical assistance to various agency programs
and regional offices concerning acceptable pollutant levels
and dose-response relations are also provided.
The office includes five main assessment groups, three
of which are located in EPA's Washington, D.C.
headquarters: Carcinogen Assessment Group, Exposure
Assessment Group, and Reproductive Effects Assessment
Group; two environmental Criteria and Assessment offices
are located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina.
The Carcinogen Assessment Group (CAG) is comprised
of scientists with expertise in epidemiology, toxicology,
endocrinology, pharmacology, and biostatistics. The
scientists analyze existing scientific data and evaluate the
carcinogenic potential and potency of specific substances
and mixtures. The group also develops new and improved
risk assessment methods. This group has prepared
carcinogenicity evaluations for most of the Agency's
Health Assessment Documents, as well as individual
assessment documents. In addition, the staff of this group
assist other Agency offices in the evaluation of suspect
carcinogens, and provide advice and guidance on risk
assessment to other federal and state agencies and
international organizations.
The Exposure Assessment Group (EAG) consists of
scientists and engineers with degrees in chemistry, the
biological sciences, and chemical and environmental
engineering. This group provides advice on the exposure
characteristics and factors of agents that are suspected
of causing detrimental health effects. Activities include
providing state-of-the-art methodology, guidance, and
procedures for exposure determinations, as well as
preparing independent exposure assessments and
recommendations concerning the exposure potential of
specific agents. The group reviews exposure assessments
prepared by other EPA offices and is experienced in
exposure assessment modeling and designing and
modeling studies.
The Reproductive Effects Assessment Group (REAG)
consists of scientists with expertise in the areas of male
and female reproductive biology, developmental biology,
genetics, and pharmacokinetics. The group prepares
assessments on the risks associated with human exposure
to suspect mutagens, teratogens, and agents that cause
adverse reproductive effects. This group is also involved
in developing testing methods and basic research designed
to improve the scientific basis for these assessments; and
is active in coordinating research in these interrelated end
points. In addition to preparing mutagenicity and
reproductive effects assessments for the comprehensive
Health Assessment Documents, REAG develops risk
assessment methodology and publishes extensively in
refereed journals.
