["Larry Schnapf" <larry@schnapflaw.com>]

Since we are on the topic of the ATSDR, how does its Minimal Risk Levels
(MRLs) compare with the EPA screening levels? If they are different, how
could this be if the purpose is to screen those sites that pose risk to
humans? Isnt that what the EPA screening levels are intended to do?

Subject: [CPEO-BIF] Grant Announcement: Community Health Projects
(CHP)Related to Contamination at Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites

Community Health Projects (CHP) Related to Contamination at Brownfield/Land
Reuse Sites

Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
CDC-RFA-TS14-1404
January 8, 2014

The ATSDR Community Health Projects (CHP) Related to Contamination at
Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites purpose is to increase responsive public health
actions by promoting healthy and safe environments and preventing harmful
exposures related to contamination at Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites.
Brownfields are defined by the U.S.  
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which
may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous
substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
Land reuse sites are properties that are being redeveloped from their former
use.  EPA estimates that there are over 450,000 Brownfield sites in the
United States.  Addressing public health concerns and issues associated with
restoration of contaminated properties is essential.

ATSDR's mission is to serve the public through responsive public health
actions to promote healthy and safe environments and prevent harmful
exposures.  Sites such as Brownfield/Land Reuse sites may have potentially
harmful exposures from contamination from previous site uses. Community
health projects that address impacts of contamination at Brownfield/Land
Reuse sites further ATSDR's public health mission to promote healthy and
safe environments and prevent harmful exposures.  These projects will have a
particular emphasis on identifying health issues prior to redevelopment
and/or assessing changes in community health associated with reuse plans and
redevelopment.
