Agency Extramural Activity Report (EAR) for
Toxics-Related Projects, Volume III, Issue 1

Volume III, issue 1 of the Extramural Activity Report
(EAR), prepared by the Chemical Coord ination~sFa"ff "(CCS)" "of
the Office of Toxic Substances is attached. It includes
descriptions of toxics-related projects being developed
under contract as well as grants, cooperative agreements or
assistance agreements awarded since August 1983.
To facilitate use of the EAR, the projects have been
indexed, where possible, by chemical, industry and environ-
mental medium. These indices are listed at the end of the
document. In addition, the EPA project officers' names and
phone numbers are included so that you can call them directly
if you are interested in a specific project.
As you know, the EAR is developed in consultation with the
particular programs involved with each project. The primary
purpose of the EAR is to aid in the planning and development
of extramural efforts by providing a source of information
-2-
as to which extramural projects are currently being developed
or ongoing throughout the Agency. By coordinating these
efforts, their quality and consistency can be improved and
extramural duplication can be avoided. We strongly encourage
you to use the EAR as a tool in the procurement process.
As an EAR user, we thought you might be interested in
the results of the recent survey contained in the August 1983:
issue of the EAR. CCS received approximately 200 responses
from EPA Headquarters, regions, laboratories, as well as
other recipients not directly affiliated with .EPA (i.e., othe
Federal and state agencies). The surveys received represent
approximately half of those who receive the EAR and, therefor-
give a good indication of how the EAR has been utilized.
According to this survey, the EAR has saved its users
approximately $262,000 and 1.2 work-years. The vast majority
of the responses (about 75%) indicate that the EAR has been
used to identify research activities of interest or as a
reference tool. Forty-five percent indicate that the EAR
has aided in avoiding duplication of efforts, and sixteen
percent utilize the EAR in the initiation of extramural
efforts, either through "adding-on" to existing contracts,
or through the joint development of projects.

process under the Toxic Substances Control Act,
The human health hazard assessment will include
structure-activity relationships, metabolism
(i.e., absorption, metabolic conversions and
excretion), acute effects, mutagenicity,
carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and other chronic
effects. Potential toxic effects associated with
the chemical and/or contaminants, byproducts,

including identification of study populations,
and occupational and other exposure
monitoring, preliminary to the initiation of
analytic epidemiology with priority OTS
chemicals.
This project will provide percutaneous absorption
studies. By employing appropriate laboratory
animal models, data may be extrapolated to
humans. Chemicals to be studies include PCBs, MDA
and three that have yet to be specified. The
factors influencing increased or decreased
absorption rates will be explored (including
synergistic/antagonistic relationships among
chemicals). The results of these studies will be
used in risk assessments. In addition, a
mathematical model to predict dermal absorption
based on chemical characteristics using resultant
dermal absorption data will be developed.

The research will compare -the abilities of porous
cup samplers and soil cores to detect the
migration of fast-moving hazardous waste
constituents through soil* The approach is to
study the mobility of at least 20 fast-moving
organic constituents in five different hazardous
wastes using undisturbed soils of different types
of large lysimeters,

The laboratory converts samples that .are
considered to be potentially hazardous to a form
that can be analyzed in an' ordinary laboratory
environment. The majority of work is for
superfund. The regulated laboratories are located
at NEIC Denver, and EMSL, Las Vegas.
'The contract will provide for the preparation of
potentially highly hazardous samples for the
Superfund program so that they can be safely
tested in a normal laboratory.
The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to
(1) provide improved synthesis and purification of
a number of the PCB isomers? (2) synthesize larger
amounts of 15 congeners identified previously as
toxicj and (3) develop separation procedures for
the purification of toxaphene congeners.
