I. Special Features
The Plight of the Dolphin
by H. George Keeler (FTS 255-2252)
This is the eighth in a series of articles describing
activities of the Regional Scientist Program operated by
the Regional Operations Staff, Office of Technology
Transfer and Regulatory Support (OTTRS)/Office of
Research and Development.
Most activities of the Regional Scientists can be
categorized as supporting each Regional Office's
functions dealing with the ORD budget planning system,
participating in the Regional Applied Research Effort
(RARE), providing technical assistance, and expediting
technology transfer of new ORD products. As insipid as
this may sound, new and exciting challenges do confront
the Regional Scientists as was recently the case in
Region VI.
Starting in January 1990, the marine mammal stranding
networks (organized groups making weekly shoreline
inspections) in the Gulf States noted an increased
mortality rate in dolphins compared to the four previous
years. Mr. Myron Knudson, Director of the Water
Management Division, was aware that the National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration had
initiated an investigation into the matter and requested
that ORD play an active role in assessing the problem
and in keeping both Regions IV and VI informed of any
new developments.
The first major incident occurred in East Matagorda Bay,
Texas, where almost thirty dolphin carcasses were
discovered within a few days. The animals were
necropsied by Dr. George Miller from the Naval Oceans
Systems Center in San Diego. Initially the deaths were
thought to be attributable to severe cold weather in the
region. Subsequently, dolphins continued to strand from
the Florida panhandle to Texas throughout February and
March at above normal rates. A total of 264 animals was
recovered during the three-month period with 161 of
those being in the Texas coast. The totals for these
months were the highest on record.
The investigation of the current strandings, which is
quite thorough, is organized into seven separate areas.
Four of the areas concern population biology and
include: population abundance and trends: stock
identification; age structure of stranded animals; and
food habits. The other areas relate to extent and causes
of mortality and include studies of biotoxins; con-
taminants; pathology (including bacteriology and virol-
ogy); and efforts to recover stranded animals.

Risk Assessment Methodologies: Compering
State and EPA Approaches
by Bob Cantilll (FTS 382-5546)
Ed Ohanian (FTS 382-7571)
During the biannual meeting of the Federal-State
Toxicology and Regulatory Alliance Committee
(FSTRAC) held on April 19 to 20, 1990, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency conducted a special
workshop to discuss current risk assessment method-
ologies (see the December 1989 issue of the Risk
Assessment Review for more detailed information on the
FSTRAC program). The Risk Assessment Workshop
brought EPA and the states together to address various
technical issues stemming from present risk assessment
methodologies for drinking water contaminants. Both
state and federal regulatory agencies perform risk
assessment every day, but, because of different regu-
latory mandates and associated responsibilities, they
often have varying perspectives on risk issues. State
representatives had the opportunity to hear first-hand the
discussion of the issues related to revising the 1986
Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment and the
. Guidelines for the Health Risk Assessment of Chemical
Mixtures, as well as developing non-cancer risk
assessment guidelines.
The FSTRAC Risk Assessment Workshop brought
several issues to light. One such issue was the
complexity of risk assessments due to such factors as
hazard assessment, dose-response evaluation, exposure
assessment and risk characterization. Workshop partici-
pants discussed whether differences between animals
and humans affect the usefulness of biomarkers and
concluded that more research is needed to evaluate the
use of biomarkers as endpoints and as indicators of
exposure. Also, participants discussed whether com-
pounds should be regulated more strictly for one
exposure route if that compound poses a risk via another
route.
Participants also discussed the assumptions and
limitations of EPA's existing method for calculating the
Reference Dose (RfD). The limitations associated with
the use of the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level
(NOAEL), uncertainty factors, and risk at levels higher
than the RfD were some of the issues identified by
workshop participants as needing further attention.
Research currently being conducted to address these
issues focuses on incidence and effect modeling,
severity modeling, and analyzing probability and density
distribution of RfD values. Workshop speakers described

Plight (Continued from p. 1)
Services for the investigation are being provided by a
variety of agencies, institutions and other groups and
individuals. Assistance has been provided by: Armed
Forces Institute of Pathology; Cooperative Institute for
Marine and Atmospheric Sciences; Florida Department
of Natural Resources; Greenpeace; Kansas State
University; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Sea World,
Orlando, Florida; Texas A&M University; the laboratories
of the Southeast Fisheries Science Center, and others.
Since there was a concern that the deaths may be
associated with environmental pollution, ORD's
Narragansett laboratory was asked to join in the
investigations. Dr. Ramona Haebler was selected to
head up the Agency's efforts. To date, chemical residue
analysis of tissue samples from these animals has been
constrained by the fact that the research effort was
unscheduled and discretionary funds were not available.
As a result, I champion support for this study (S50K)
from interested parties in Region IV, the coastal states,
and other ORD and Agency Operating Program Offices.
A collaborative study regarding a previous mass
mortality of Bottle-nosed dolphins in the Atlantic during
1987-1988 was conducted by ERL-Narragansett, ERL-
Duluth and the Smithsonian Institution. Preliminary
findings showed that the tissue from these dolphins
contained a broad range of anthropogenic substances
including polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated
flame retardants. There was evidence of
biomagnification in the food chain with the highest
concentration of the compounds being found in the fatty
tissue of this mammalian species. When the females
lactate there is a substantial transfer of these
compounds to their young. It is hypothesized that
although the organic constituents may not be the direct
cause of the mortalities, they may well be contributing to
the suppression of the immune systems, leaving them
highly susceptible to infections.
This limited information leads to the conclusion that
there is a problem in the near coastal waters of the U.S.
that, in time, could result in increasing the mortality rate
of young Bottle-nosed dolphins to a level where the
elimination of that species from its habitat is possible. It
is therefore imperative that we not only carry out the
Gulf of Mexico study but continue to monitor and use
this species as an indicator of the health of our marine
environment.
Should you have idle discretionary funds that could be
utilized to support this important eco-toxicity investiga-
tion, call Dr. Haebler at FTS 838-6154.
Methodologies (continued from p. 1)
proposed novel approaches to noncancer risk assess-
ment; for example, the benchmark approach, which uses
the upper 95% confidence limit of the dose-response
curve, rather than the NOAEL, to calculate the RfD. The
states were encouraged to provide input to EPA
regarding the RfD by identifying problems or missing
data in EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS),
suggesting chemicals for the RfD Work group to
discuss, or sending any toxicity studies or other
research projects on any of the existing IRIS files to
EPA's RfD Work Group.
At the workshop, state representatives provided their
perspective on the inhalation Reference Concentration
(RfC). The RfC may be more precise than the oral RfD,
since it incorporates physiological and chemical-specific
data. Concerns were aired regarding the need to revise
existing drinking water regulations to account for
potential inhalation exposure that may occur during
showering and bathing. New regulations also would be
affected by the RfC. It was recommended that EPA
produce oral RfDs and inhalation RfCs together, using a
consistent set of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
assumptions; if this is not possible, EPA could provide
information that allows consistent assessment.
Workshop participants learned that EPA's Office of
Health and Environmental Assessment (OHEA) is
revising the 1986 Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk
Assessment, with the goal of improving the structure of
the guidance so that the risk assessor has every tool
available for assessing and characterizing the risk from
carcinogens. During the Risk Assessment Workshop, Dr.
William Farland, Director of OHEA, described the issues
being addressed for each step of the risk assessment:
hazard identification and classification, dose-response
modeling, exposure assessment, and risk character-
ization. Several of the state participants provided
practical input for the current EPA hazard classification
scheme. For example, it was suggested that pharmaco-
kinetic data be included in the minimum data sets for
making the classification determination, especially for
potential Group E (non-carcinogenic) chemicals.
State representatives also described their concern over
the lack of regulatory guidelines or standards for short-
term exposures, which could result from spills or
unrecognized groundwater contamination. Workshop
participants discussed a method for estimating risk from
short-term exposure to carcinogens. FSTRAC's Toxicol-
ogy/Risk Assessment Subcommittee will be preparing a
summary paper outlining issues related to short-term
exposures. The subcommittee has asked for input from
interested persons.
A representative from the EPA Work Group that is
updating the 1986 Guidelines for the Health Risk
Assessment of Chemical Mixtures discussed assess-
ment of risks from exposure to complex mixtures. Such
assessments possess many challenges because of the
lack of data, and difficulty in applying toxicity tests to
real-life conditions. Guideline revisions are focusing on
issues such as whether additivity is a reasonable
assumption, similarity between mixtures, how to deal
with carcinogens, and the role of metal speciation in the
composition of mixtures in the environment. A large
portion of the Guidelines is dedicated to communicating
to the risk manager the assumptions, uncertainties, and
"expert judgment" used to arrive at the final
assessment. State participants explained that they often
regulate mixtures as a single entity, for lack of another
way. Any evidence of carcinogenicity for any of a
mixture's components is enough to merit labeling the
whole mixture carcinogenic - some states regulate the
mixtures based on the most toxic component present.
2

-------
Several other issues came up at the workshop. One
topic was the role played by the Office of Drinking Water
Health Advisories (HAs) in state risk assessments. HAs
are short guidance documents that summarize health
effects information for drinking water contaminants,
usually for chemicals that are not otherwise regulated by
ODW. These HAs are helpful to state regulators because
they provide guidance to state and local personnel in the
absence of other guidance from EPA. EPA is con-
sidering several issues related to HAs, such as how to
handle complex mixtures, vehicle effects observed in
gavage studies, and risk assessment of disinfectants
and their by-products.
State representatives at the workshop also described the
issue of regulating substances for which there are no
EPA standards or HAs. In the case of one chemical,
methyl-t-butyl ether, one state developed a risk
assessment based on aesthetic appearance, taste and
smell, as well as health effects. The states suggested
that EPA consider a policy to address odor and taste
thresholds in human health effects assessments.
At the end of the workshop, participants agreed that
FSTRAC will continue to be an extremely useful forum
for addressing these risk assessment issues of mutual
interest. Continued information sharing and discussion
among FSTRAC members helps keep state and federal
regulators and risk assessors aware of each other's
needs and concerns.
The EPA Office of Drinking Water is preparing a report
summarizing the Risk Assessment Workshop
discussions. This report, titled "Risk Assessment
Methodologies: Comparing State and EPA Approaches,"
will be available in the fall of 1990. For information on
the report, or on joining FSTRAC, contact Dr. Edward

II. Headquarters
ORD Electronic Bulletin Board System (BBS)
Open
by Jose Perez (FTS 684-7272)
The Office of Research and Development (ORD) has
created the ORD Bulletin Board System (BBS) to foster
communication and technology transfer among EPA
staff, state and local officials and staff, researchers, and
the private community. The BBS is located in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and operated by ORD's Center for Environmental
Research Information (CERI).
A major feature of the BBS is an on-line, text-searchable
database of every ORD publication produced since 1976
(more than 15,000 citations). Each citation includes title,
authors, abstract, ordering information and much more.
The BBS also offers such features as messages,
bulletins of new information, public domain files, and
currently has five specialty areas (conferences: water,
regional operations, expert systems, biotechnology, and
QA/QC).
The BBS is open to everyone with immediate access to
almost all its features. The BBS is straightforward to use
and on-line help is available for those new to BBS
systems.
To access the ORD BBS, call (513) 569-7610 or FTS
684-7610. Or contact Jose P§rez of CERI (EMAIL -

III. Around the Regions
Region II
CHEMINDX • A Chemical Database for the SARA
Program
In September 1987 the Pesticides and Toxic Substances
Branch located in Region ll's Environmental Services
Division in Edison, New Jersey developed a chemical
database on a PC in d-BASE III + to support the SARA
Title 313 inspection program. The program identified the
SARA Title 313 chemicals that were also regulated by
other EPA programs. Because of the scope of the
program the CHEMINDX database was transferred to a
mainframe computer using the software package
FOCUS. A description of the CHEMINDX program is
provided below.
What is CHEMINDX?
•	CHEMINDX is a multi-user, menu-driven,
centralized database containing chemical-specific
information on over 8,000 chemicals and over
33,000 synonyms.
•	CHEMINDX has information on regulator status,
health effects, hazardous qualities, and emergency
response for chemicals that are of interest to the
various EPA programs.
•	CHEMINDX information is derived from a number of
EPA programs (SARA Title 313, RCRA, CERCLA,
etc.) as well as non-EPA programs (OSHA, ACGIH,
and DOT).
•	Information can be retrieved by using any of several
registry numbers such as CAS, RCRA, SHG, PMN,
or DOT numbers, as well as by the chemical name.
•	CHEMINDX provides chemical specific regulatory
information. For example, under which regulatory
and/or statute is a particular chemical of interest,
regulated or monitored. In the future, the system will
further refine the regulation/statute classifications
with chemicals that have been delisted or are under
proposal.
•	CHEMINDX can create cross-reference listings of
chemicals that are regulated by multiple EPA
programs, e.g., chemicals that are regulated by
other than the RCRA and SARA statutes.
•	CHEMINDX can provide instruction on the
appropriate emergency response for chemical spills
based on DOT emergency guidelines.
•	CHEMINDX can provide health-related information
based on OSHA and ACGIH information, such as
maximum exposure limits.

-------
CHEMINDX Segment Summary
CHEMINDX is composed of several segments which
contain specific data elements:
e The REGULATION segment consists of fields
describing the various EPA statutes and regulations:
Clean Water Act (CWA)
Clean Air Act (CAA)
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA)
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Federal Insecticide. Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA)
•	The HEALTH segment consists of:
SARA Title 313 carcinogenic profiles (e.g., chronic
or acute toxicity) from IRIS, ACGIH, NTP and IARC
carcinogenic characteristics.
•	The EMERGENCY segment (based on the DOT
guidebook) consists of:
Fire or explosion hazards
Health hazards
Emergency actions
First aid measures
Spill and leak response
•	The OSHA segment contains information on OSHA
and ACGIH health effects (e.g., chemical exposure
levels and limits, such as short-term exposure
levels, and time-weighted averages (TWA)j
•	The DOT segment contains hazardous information
on chemicals:
Flammability
Reactivity
Heath rankings based on National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA)
DOT toxic liquids
RCRA U, P, D, F, K hazardous chemical
classifications
System Access
To access the system,
•	Dial into the EPA communications network via either
a data link or telephone modem,
•	Log onto TSO
•	Log onto FOCUS by typing FOCUS
•	At the FOCUS prompt > Type EX CHEMINDX
•	Chemical information can be accessed by either
supplying one of several registry numbers, such as
CAS, RCRA, PMN, SHG or DOT or by the chemical
name.
•	Once the chemical has been identified by using any
of the section criteria above, the chemical data can
be presented along both program (e.g., EPA
programs and statues such as TSCA, SARA, CAA,
CWA, SDWA, FIFRA, and RCRA) and topic lines
(e.g., health, hazardous, toxicity, carcinogen and
water-related information).
When CHEMINDX is used in conjunction with the TRI
data, there is an opportunity for the region to define
inspection targets (including multi-media inspections)
based on a risk assessment of the potential harm to the
community considering toxicity and volume of chemicals
emitted, mechanism of exposure (air and water) and size
of population exposed.
For further information on CHEMINDX, contact George
Nossa, of Region H's Information System Branch at FTS
264-9850 or Ernest Regna of Region It's Pesticides and
Toxic Substances Branch at FTS 340-6765.

Region IX
A New Risk Communication Training Aid
A new publication, Public Meeting: Typical Questions &
Sample Responses, was recently developed as a
response to many requests from students of the Risk &
Decision Making and Risk Communication and Public
Involvement Courses. Of the over 1,000 state and
federal students who have attended the courses,
managers and staff alike have continually asked for
examples of "good" answers to difficult public meeting
questions. While verbal examples have been given
during the training, and "good" answers vary depending
on the situation, students were still in need of a more
permanent reference guide. As a result, a publication
was developed to serve as a training aid for our Risk
Courses, and as a guide to assist staff in preparing for
future discussions with the public.
Our purpose in developing this guide was to give
students a document that illustrates through examples,
the process which they must consider to develop their
own "good" answers. In the guide, applications of the
seven cardinal rules of risk communication are cited
along with ideas for understanding public needs, a
critical skill for preparing effective responses.
Earlier drafts of the publication were shared with our
state and regional staffs. Their responses were very
positive, and we would like to offer the final version to
the other regional offices and Headquarters Program
Offices. We invite comments and suggestions and plan
to expand the guide based on the responses we receive.
For additional information on the 19-page guide which
contains responses to 19 typical public meeting
questions, please contact Alvin Chun, Region IX at FTS
556-6529 or Arnold Den at FTS 556-6472.
