Dr. Dodd received his PhD in pharmacology and toxicology from the University of Kansas and is a diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology. WANDA HASCHEK-HOCK is a veterinary pathologist and professor of com- parative pathology at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. She has over 30 years of experience in comparative, respiratory, and toxicologic pathology and has over 100 scientific peer-reviewed publications in pathology and toxicology. She has served on editorial boards of toxicology journals and numerous science committees and received the Society of Toxicologic Pathol- ogy’s Achievement Award in 2007. Her research has focused on the patho- physiology of chemicals and natural environmental toxins with a recent focus on mycotoxins and food safety. Dr. Haschek-Hock received her BVSc (equivalent to a DVM) from the University of Sydney and her PhD from Cornell University. She is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists and the American Board of Toxicology. JAMES LOCKEY is a professor of environmental health and internal medicine (Pulmonary Division) at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. His clinical interests include pulmonary disease, internal medicine, and occupational medicine, but his main research interests are in occupational pulmonary disease. He has been an investigator on a number of human research studies on pulmo- nary effects of occupational exposure to vermiculite contaminated with asbesti- form minerals, on reproductive effects of occupational exposure to solvents, on respiratory morbidity and mortality in workers exposed to refractory ceramic fiber, on obstructive lung disease and diacetyl exposure associated with micro- wave-popcorn production, and on the relationship of diesel-exhaust exposure and the risk of allergic rhinitis and asthma in young children. He has also served as a member of the National Research Council Subcommittee on Manufactured Vitreous Fibers. Dr. Lockey earned his MD from Temple University.

162 Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants JOHN MORRIS is the head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Connecticut. His professional interests include inhalation toxicology, air pollutants and asthma, risk assessment, and physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling. He has served on an asbestos committee for the Connecticut Academy of Sci- ence and Engineering and was chair of the Connecticut Hazardous Air Pollutant Advisory Panel. Dr. Morris has also served on the editorial boards of Funda- mental and Applied Toxicology, Inhalation Toxicology, and Toxicological Sci- ences. He earned a PhD in toxicology at the University of Rochester. JOHN O’DONOGHUE is an adjunct associate professor of environmental medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. He was the director of the Health and Environment Laboratories and vice president for health, safety, and environment at Eastman Kodak Company until his retire- ment in 2004. His research interests include neurotoxicology and toxicologic pathology. Dr. O'Donoghue has served on several National Research Council committees, including the Committee on Toxicology, the Subcommittee on Toxicological Hazard and Risk Assessment, and the previous Committee on Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants. He received his VMD and PhD from the University of Pennsyl- vania and is a diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology. ANDREW SALMON is a senior toxicologist and chief of the Air Toxicology and Risk Assessment Section at the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA). Previously, he was a staff toxicologist in the Reproductive and Cancer Hazard Assessment Section of Cal/EPA and a consultant toxicolo- gist with the California Public Health Foundation. He heads a group of toxicolo- gists in Cal/EPA responsible for public-health risk assessments of toxic air con- taminants. Dr. Salmon is a member of a number of professional organizations, including the Society of Toxicology, the Society for Risk Analysis, the British Toxicology Society, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Dr. Salmon earned a PhD in biochemistry from Oxford University, UK. KATHLEEN THIESSEN is a senior scientist at SENES Oak Ridge, Inc., Cen- ter for Risk Analysis. She has extensive experience in evaluating exposures, doses, and risks to human health from environmental contaminants and in the use of uncertainty analysis for environmental and health risk assessment. Dr. Thiessen has led working groups on dose reconstruction and urban remediation for the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Biosphere Modelling and As- sessment Programme and the Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety Programme. She has also served as a member of the National Research Council Committee on Toxicologic Risk of Fluoride in Drinking Water. She received her PhD in genetics from the University of Tennessee-Oak Ridge Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.

U.S. Navy personnel who work on submarines are in an enclosed and isolated environment for days or weeks at a time when at sea. Unlike a typical work environment, they are potentially exposed to air contaminants 24 hours a day. To protect workers from potential adverse health effects due to those conditions, the U.S. Navy has established exposure guidance levels for a number of contaminants. The Navy asked a subcommittee of the National Research Council (NRC) to review, and develop when necessary, exposure guidance levels for specific contaminants.

This volume, the third in a series, recommends 1-hour and 24-hour emergency exposure guidance levels (EEGLs) and 90-day continuous exposure guidance levels (CEGLs) for acetaldehyde, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen sulfide, and propylene glycol dinitrate.
