The ORD Regional Scientist Program
by David S. Klauder, PhD, Director,
Regional Operations Staff, FTS 382-7667
For the past ten months, the Office of Research and
Development's (ORD's) Regional Operations Staff has
run a column in the Risk Assessment Review on the ORD
Regional Scientist Program. Nine regional scientists from
nine different regions each wrote an article which featured
some of the risk-related activities in which they have
become involved while fulfilling their general mission of
liaison between the region and ORD. I hope you have
enjoyed this series of articles.
The Regional Scientist Program is a two-year training
program open to accomplished ORD employees seeking to
better understand how ORD science and technology is and
can be utilized in the EPA risk management process. The
goals of this program are two-fold: (a) to provide opportu-
nities for both the regions and ORD laboratories to work
together to successfully develop scientifically and techno-
logically sound environmental risk management actions,
and (b) to provide career development opportunities for
selected ORD employees. The program in its current for-
mat is only three years old. It is still early to draw conclu-
sions on how well these goals are being met. However,
ORD is in the process of identifying and evaluating options
for meeting these goals. One option under consideration is
to expand the ORD Regional Scientist Program to allow
interested and qualified regional staff to rotate into one of
ORD's laboratories for up to a year.
I would appreciate hearing from you. Have the articles
written by the regional scientists been interesting? Would
you like to see them continued? (Note: New regional
scientists, who bring different talents and expertise to the
regions and, therefore, will get involved in different activi-
ties, have just started their assignments in Regions III,
VIII, and X.) Have you had interactions with any of the
ORD regional scientists that you would like to share? Do
you have suggestions on how the Regional Scientist Pro-
gram could be improved? Please call me at FTS 382-7667
or EMAIL EPA8016 with your comments and suggestions.

FY'90 Risk Training Plan
by WiUiam J. Muszynski, PJE.
Co-Chair Risk Training Committee, FTS 264-0396
For the past five years, the Risk Training Committee
which operates under the auspices of the Risk Assessment
Council, has coordinated development and presentation of
risk training to EPA and non-EPA staff. Chaired by Dan
Beardsley, Acting Assistant Administrator of the Office of
Policy, Planning and Evaluation and by me the member-
ship includes representatives from each Program Office
and Region III.
At the last Risk Assessment Council meeting on Janu-
ary 10, 1991, the Risk Training Committee's FY'90 ac-
complishments and plans for FY*91 were presented. FY'90
was another banner year for risk training, with approxi-
mately 4,100 people trained. It's projected that an addi-
tional 4,500 people will be trained during FY'91. If that
goal is met, more than 14,661 people will have participated
in the program. (See the article on the Risk Training Report
in this issue for further details.)
As in prior years, FY'90 trainees included staff from
EPA, state and local health and environmental agencies,
governments from other nations, other federal agencies,
and contractors. This impressive training effort is the result
of the talent and expertise of EPA staff who organize,
lecture and facilitate training work groups. In addition, the
California Department of Health Services has co-facili-
tated training in Region IX.
Based on the continued training success, the Risk
Training Committee recommended updating current
courses, and expanding the curriculum to include ecologi-
cal risk assessment training. The Council Chair Hank
Habicht approved this recommendation and asked the
Committee to work with the Council members to implement
the recommendations. Over the next few months, the
Training Committee will work to identify funds to update
the current courses and develop new ecological courses.
Future issues of the Risk Assessment Review will update
the Committee's progress in meeting these goals.
Dan and I would like to thank all the facilitators and
members of the Risk Training Committee whose hard
work and dedication has made this effort so successful.

FY'90 Risk Training Report
by Marian Olsen, EPA Region 11, FTS 264-5682
In FY'90, as in prior years, the Agency made significant
progress in providing training to both EPA and non-EPA
staff in the areas of risk assessment, risk management and
risk communication. Over 4,105 people were trained in
FY'90 with a projection of 4,500 additional trainees in
FY'91. This will raise the total number of trainees at the end
of FY'91 to 14,661.
Of special note in FY'91 is the tremendous outreach in
providing training to staff from other federal agencies, state
and local health and environmental agencies, universities,
contractors, and other organizations. In FY'90, 49% of
those trained were from EPA while 39% were from state
and local health and environmental agencies; 5% from other
federal agencies and 7% from universities, contractors, and
other organizations.
The success of the training program is possible through
the continued dedication, talent and excellence of EPA's
staff who provide the training through activities such as
workgroup facilitation, lecturing and organizing presenta-
tion. The facilitators excellent work have enabled the Agency
to provide the training at a cost of less $100 per trainee. This
training cost includes funds for course development and
presentation.
In FY'90 staff from the California Department of Health
Services continued to participate as co-facilitators with
EPA Region IX staff in providing the Workshop on Risk
and Decision Making and the Comparative Risk Training
course, respectively.
As detailed in the FY'90 Report on Risk Training devel-
oped by the Risk Training Committee the courses included:
•	Workshop on Risk and Decision-Making, the introduc-
tory level course on the principles of risk assessment,
risk management and risk communication that pro-
vides the basis for other risk assessment courses of-
fered by EPA.
Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), an intro-
duction to the hands-on use of the IRIS and the applica-
tion and use of IRIS data in a case study.
•	Risk Assessment Guidelines, including a Manager's
Overview and specific courses on the 1986 Guidelines
(carcinogens, mutagens, exposure assessment, devel-
opmental toxicants and chemical mixtures).
•	Risk Communication Workshop, an overview of ap-
proaches to risk communication characterized by a
high degree of interaction in small group case discus-
sions and role play situations.
« Risk* Assistant, an introduction to the computer soft-
ware package Risk*Assistant that aids in calculating
risks associated with various exposure scenarios.
•	OERR Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund, a
five day training course in the application and use of
the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response's
Risk Assessment Guidance.
•	Comparative Risk Course, that trains participants in the
methods used to evaluate the residual risk of a limited
set of environmental problems as an analytical tool for
improved environmental priority setting and planning.
Additional training is also offered by the Office of
Research and Development's Center for Exposure Assess-
ment Modeling laboratory in Athens, Georgia, on advanced
Exposure Assessment Models. The CEAM provides train-
ing in stream water quality, water quality, metals, and
estuarine wasteload.
The Risk Training Committee's FY'90 Risk Training
Report details the numbers of people attending these vari-
ous courses taught by Headquarters and regional staff. In
addition, the report also highlights the innovations and
modifications to training developed in the presentation of
training, non-EPA staff trained, costs associated with the
delivery of training, and plans for FY'91.
II. Headquarters
Nonionizing Electric and Magnetic Fields
by Linda Bailey, FTS 382-4114
The Nonionizing Electric and Magnetic Fields Subcom-
mittee of the Science Advisory Board's Radiation Advisory
Committee met on January 14-16,1991, to begin its review
of a draft document entitled, "Evaluation of the Potential
Carcinogenicity of Electromagnetic Fields," EPA/600/6-
90/005B. The meeting was open to the public.
The document reviews and evaluates published infor-
mation pertaining to the potential carcinogenicity of elec-
tromagnetic (EM) fields. The information includes
epidemiology studies, chronic lifetime animal tests, and
laboratory studies of biological phenomena related to carci-
nogenesis. While there are epidemiological studies that
indicate an association between EM fields or their surro-
gates and certain types of cancer, other epidemiological
studies do not substantiate this association. There are in-
sufficient data to determine whether a cause and effect
relationship exists. The document clearly reveals the need
for further research. Given the controversial and uncertain
nature of the scientific findings of this report and other
reviews of this subject, the external review draft should not
be construed as representing Agency policy or position. The
document will also be reviewed by the Federal Coordinate
ing Council for Science, Engineering and Technology's
(FCCSET's) Committee on Interagency Radiation Research
and Policy Coordination (CIRRPQ. Based on these re-
views, the draft report will be revised as necessary and EPA
will provide an opportunity for public review and comment
before developing the final version of the document The
document is available from the U.S. EPA Center for Envi-
ronmental Research Information (FTS 684-7562 or FAX
FTS 684-7566).

Region X Toxicologist Three Month Sabbatical
in Clinical Toxicology
As a regional toxicologist, I recently had the opportunity
to spend a three-month rotational assignment in clinical
toxicology at Denver's Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug
Center, the largest and best such facility in the world. The
Center receives 350 calls a day from physicians, clinics, and
the public, both nationally and internationally. Cases range
from drug overdoses to snake bites, from occupational
pesticide poisonings to suicide attempts. You name it, and it
is seen by the Denver Center.
The staff at the center includes two full-time clinical
toxicologists who direct the center and oversee the various
diagnostic and therapeutic activities that occur, as well as
maintaining their own full-time practices at local hospitals.
Three Fellows in clinical toxicology are also continually on
call and save at the center for a period of two years. These
physicians are board certified in emergency medicine and
often in internal medicine or other specialities. Residents in
emergency medicine, both domestic and foreign, often serve
a month at the center on call, as part of their clinical
toxicology training. Whenever a hospital admission in the
Denver area has a diagnosis of a possible toxic agent or
response, the team of "tox-docs" goes immediately to the
patient for consultation with the admitting physician and
advises a course of therapy and treatment.
A staff of about 12 specially trained nurses are also
continually on call at the "hot line," receiving incoming
calls about poisoning cases. To be certified as Poison
Information Specialists, each nurse must spend a year's
internship in the job and log in 5,000 calls. I found the staff
to be extremely bright, committed, intense people, and in
my opjnion they were nothing less than the "creme-de-Ia-
creme" of the medical world.
My time at the center included lectures and classes twice
a week on some aspect of clinical toxicology. Some of the
lectures included snake envenomization, spider bites, poi-
sonous plants, alcohol overdoses, cocaine, pharmacokinet-
ics, organophosphate pesticides, organotins, carbon
monoxide, oral hypoglycemic agents, acetaminophen, sa-
licylates, haloperidon, clinical enhancement of drug elimi-
nation, household products, holiday berries, bezoars, etc. In
addition, each rotator has to present a didactic lecture
during their time at the center, and I chose to present a talk
on "palytoxin," which is an extremely potent toxin derived
from tropical corals, which I worked on during my graduate
school days in Honolulu long ago. I also gave a lecture on
"A day in the life of an EPA toxicologist."
On a weekly basis, each toxicologist selects a current
article in the literature and critically presents it at the
"journal club" meeting. I found this to be a very stimulating
set of sessions and recommend it for all technical people in
any setting. About three times a week, I also went on rounds
with the MDs and visited patients in various stages of their
hospitalization and progress. This was an eye opener, and I
learned a great deal. The rest of my time was spent with the
MDs, discussing case presentations two or three days a
week, and occasionally acting as a consultant in cases
having environmental or occupational components.
I heartily recommend this type of training to other
toxicologists and think it is very worthwhile to catch a brief,
intense glimpse of the real world of acute poisoning and
clear-cut risk. I have always believed that there should be an
official "bridge" between such poison centers and EPA and
hope that my time there might be part of the first step
toward realizing such a goal. The Poison Centers encounter
a large number of cases involving pesticides, "toxics," and
other chemicals which we either (supposedly) regulate or
should regulate better. I plan to use some of my training and
some of the Poison Center database in strengthening many
aspects of the Region X Comparative Risk Study and
getting the Agency to focus more acutely on some of the
REAL toxic problems which I have been lucky enough to
have been immersed in for the last three months.
For more information, including suggested readings to
prepare for such an experience, please contact Michael
Watson at FTS 399-1072.
