Assessment of Exposure-Response Functions for Rocket-Emission Toxicants [Paperback]

Subcommittee on Rocket-Emission Toxicants (Author), National Research Council (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 28, 1998 | ISBN-10: 030906144X | ISBN-13: 978-0309061445

The U.S. Air Force is developing a model to assist commanders in determining when it is safe to launch rocket vehicles. The model estimates the possible number and types of adverse health effects for people who might be exposed to the ground cloud created by rocket exhaust during a normal launch or during an aborted launch that results in a rocket being destroyed near the ground. "Assessment of Exposure-Response Functions for Rocket-Emmission Toxicants" evaluates the model and the data used for three rocket emission toxicants: hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and nitric acid.
