ToxFAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Contaminants Found at Hazardous Waste Sites
About ToxFAQs
The ATSDR ToxFAQsTM is a series
of summaries about hazardous substances developed by the ATSDR Division
of Toxicology. Information for this series is excerpted from the
ATSDR Toxicological Profiles and Public Health Statements. Each fact sheet
serves as a quick and easy to understand guide. Answers are provided to
the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about exposure to hazardous
substances found around hazardous waste sites and the effects of exposure
on human health.
Where can I get more information?
You can get further information on our web site about all the
ATSDR
Toxicological Profiles and
how they are developed. You can also get a longer version of these
ToxFAQs , called the
Public Health Statements,
from the Public Health Statements home page as well as from each of the
ToxFAQs links below.
What else can ATSDR do?
ATSDR can tell you where to find occupational and environmental health
clinics. Specialists in these clinics can recognize, evaluate, and treat
illnesses resulting from exposure to hazardous substances. You can also
contact your community or state health or environmental quality department
if you have any more questions or concerns.
