Notes:
For this chemical group, specific compounds or subgroups are named
specifically in this table. For the remainder of the chemicals of the
chemical group, a single de minimis value is listed, this value applies
to compounds which are not named specifically.
The "toxic equivalent factor" method in EPA/625/3-89-016, [U.S. EPA
(1989) Interim procedures for estimating risk associated with exposure to
mixtures] should be used for PCDD/PCDF mixtures. A different de minimis
level will be determined for each mixture depending on the equivalency
factors used which are compound specific.
a
De minimis values are zero pending public comment on the rule. Currently
available data do not support assignment of a "trivial" emission rate,
therefore, the value assigned will be policy based.
b
The EPA relies on subpart B and I, and Appendix E of 40 CFR part 61 and
assigns a de minimis level based on an effective dose equivalent of 0.3
milliem per year for a 7 year exposure period that would result in a
cancer risk of 1 per million. The individual radionuclides subject to de
minimis levels used for section 112(g) are also contained in 40 CFR
part 61.

del mismo. Se recomienda el uso de material audiovisual para
complementar las lecturas.
Todo curso para inspectores debe contener la siguiente información:
HISTORIA DEL ASBESTO
- Identificación del asbesto
- Uso y localización del asbesto en edificios
- Apariencia física del asbesto
EFECTOS A LA SALUD DEBIDO A LA EXPOSICION DEL ASBESTO
- La relación del asbesto con algunas enfermedades
- Rutas de exposición
- Relación entre seguridad y dosis de asbesto
- Efectos sinergéticos entre uso de cigarrillo y exposición a asbesto
- Período de latencia del asbesto relacionado con las enfermedades que
causa éste
Discusión de asbestosis, cáncer del pulmón, misotelioma y cáncer de otros
órganos
FUNCIONES/CUALIFICACIONES Y ROLES DEL INSPECTOR
- Qualificaciones del inspector y el planificador
