has previously reviewed and provided recommendations for those and other types of exposure guidance levels, the Navy requested that COT review, or when necessary develop, EEGLs and CEGLs for a variety of substances. As a result of the Navy's request, the NRC convened the Committee on Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants in 2002.

It is important to establish whether submariner blood lead concentrations differ from those of civilian adults and active military personnel not engaged in submarine operations who live in the United States. The committee highly recommends determining crew urinary lead or blood lead concentrations before submarine deployment and then identical measurements on completion of typical tours of duty.

As in the committee's first report, several of the chemicals evaluated in this report are sensory irritants. The derivation of quantitative environmental and occupational exposure limits for sensory irritants is fraught with difficulty because measures of the ocular and respiratory tract irritation experienced by human subjects are often considered subjective.

Introduction Prepublication Copy 7 To accomplish its charge, the committee was asked to review the Navy's supporting documentation and other relevant toxicologic and epidemiologic data and publish the results of its evaluations in two reports. This is the committee's second report, and it contains evaluations of EEGLs and CEGLs for 11 chemicals of concern to the Navy.
