|October 7, 1986
Abstract:
Environmental emergency response teams are being established in local health departments throughout the country. A primary concern for these teams is personal protection from the hazardous materials at the response site. A set of guidelines is presented for establishing a personal protection plan for the environmental emergency response team which includes selection criteria for personal protective clothing and respirators as well as recommendations for ancillary components of the personal protection plan.
