DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY US ARMY CENTER FOR HEALTH PROMOTION AND PREVENTIVE MEDICINE 5158 BLACKHAWK ROAD ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD 21010-5403 MCHB-TS-RDE - MEMORANDUM FOR Command Surgeon (LTC (b) (6) ), U.S. Central Command, 7115 South Boundary Boulevard, MacDill Air Force Base, FL 33621-5101 SUBJECT: Deployment Occupational and Environmental Health Risk Characterization, Ambient Air Volatile Organic Compound Samples, Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12-14 December 2007, U-IRQ-FALLUJAH-CM-A 17-2007 12 14 1. The enclosed report details the occupational and environmental health (OEH) risk characterization for six ambient air volatile organic compound (VOC) samples collected by Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward ) personnel from Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12-14 December 2007. 2. The OEH risk estimate for exposure to VOCs in the ambient air at Camp Fallujah, Iraq is low. While peak benzene concentrations were above the long-term 1 year military exposure guideline, overall concentrations do not represent levels at which chronic or acute effects would be expected. Therefore exposure to the benzene or other VOCs in the ambient air at Camp Fallujah, Iraq is expected to have little or no impact on unit readiness.

USACHPPM Reference Document (RD) 230, Chemical Exposure Guidelines for Deployed Military Personnel, Version 1.3, May 2003 with January 2004 addendum. 2. PURPOSE. According to U.S. Department of Defense medical surveillance requirements, this occupational and environmental health (OEH) risk characterization documents the identification and assessment of chemical hazards that pose potential health and operational risks to deployed troops. Specifically, the samples and information provided on the associated field data sheets were used to estimate the operational health risk associated with exposure to identified chemical hazards in the air at the above-mentioned location. 3. SCOPE. This assessment addresses the analytical results of six volatile organic compounds (VOCs) air samples collected from Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12 14 December 2007. These samples are limited in time, area, and media. Therefore, this report should not be considered a complete assessment of the overall OEH hazards to which troops may be exposed at this location. However, this assessment has been performed using operational risk management (ORM) doctrine FM 5 19 and the relatively conservative (protective) assumptions and methods provided in TG 230 to facilitate decision making that can minimize the likelihood of significant risks. 4. BACKGROUND AND EXPOSURE ASSUMPTIONS. The samples were obtained to assess the potential for adverse health effects to troops routinely and continuously breathing the ambient air at Camp Fallujah, Iraq. Information from the field data sheets and e-mail correspondence indicated that the two samples on 12 December 2007 were collected from an area downwind of the burn pit smoke plumes. This is the southeast portion of the camp and less than 10 percent of the personnel are expected to be exposed. The remaining four samples are from the South Camp and Belleau Wood areas. Numerous generators are present in these areas. The exposure rate for these samples was indicated to be 25 to50 percent of the camp population.

Deployment OEH Risk Characterization, Ambient Air VOC Samples, Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12 14 Dec 07, Personnel are expected to remain at Camp Fallujah for approximately 1 year. In addition, it is assumed that control measures and/or personal protective equipment are not used. 5. METHOD. a. General. The USACHPPM Deployment Environmental Surveillance Program (DESP) uses the TG 230 methodology and associated military exposure guidelines (MEGs) to assess identified hazards and estimate risk in a manner consistent with doctrinal risk management procedures and terminology. This method includes identification of the hazard(s), assessment of the hazard severity and probability, and determination of a risk estimate and associated level of confidence. As part of the hazard identification step, the long-term (1-year) MEGs are used as screening criteria to identify those hazards that are potential health threats. These 1-year MEGs represent exposure concentrations at or below which no significant health effects (including delayed or chronic disease or significant increased risk of cancer) are anticipated even after 1 year of continuous daily exposures. Short-term MEGs are used to assess brief one time or intermittent exposures. The underlying toxicological basis for the MEGs is addressed in the RD 230. It is noted that toxicological information about potential health effects varies among different chemicals; thus, the determination of severity of effects when MEGs are exceeded involves professional judgment. Hazards with exposure concentrations greater than MEGs are identified as potential health threats carried through the hazard assessment process, and assigned a risk estimate consistent with ORM methodology. Hazards that are either not detected or are present only at levels below the 1-year MEGs are not considered health threats and, therefore, are automatically assigned a low-operational risk estimate. 6. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION. a. Sample Information. Six valid samples and three associated field blanks were submitted for analysis. b. Laboratory Analysis. The six valid samples and three field blanks were analyzed by the USACHPPM Headquarters laboratory for VOCs. Concentrations of VOCs detected above the laboratory reporting limit were compared to MEGs presented in TG 230. Appendix A provides a summary of the samples assessed in this report. Appendix B contains a summary of the sample results. Appendix C presents detailed laboratory results. 2

Deployment OEH Risk Characterization, Ambient Air VOC Samples, Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12 14 Dec 07, c. Assessment. (1) Benzene. Benzene was detected at concentrations well above the 1-year MEG of 39 micrograms per cubic meter ( ) in the two samples collected downwind of the burn pit. Therefore, benzene is identified as a potential health threat requiring further assessment. Benzene is typically found in the air from emissions of burning coal and oil, gasoline service stations and motor vehicle exhaust. It is not uncommon to detect benzene in the ambient air at burn pits. Benzene was not detected at concentrations greater than the 1-year MEG in the samples collected at South Camp and Belleau Wood. (2) Other Parameters. None of the other parameters detected in the samples were present at concentrations greater than their respective MEGs. Therefore, no potential health threats were identified and the risk estimate for exposure to those VOCs in the ambient air is considered low. 7. HAZARD ASSESSMENT. a. Hazard Severity. The hazard severity for the potential health threat of concern was determined by comparison of detected concentrations to the MEGs published in TG 230 and using TG 230, Table 3 1. Benzene can cause acute effects as well as chronic effects under appropriate exposure conditions. Chronic (long-term) inhalation exposure has caused various disorders in the blood, including reduced numbers of red blood cells and aplastic anemia, in occupational settings. Reproductive effects have been reported for women exposed by inhalation to high levels, and adverse effects on the developing fetus have been observed in animal tests. Increased incidences of leukemia (cancer of the tissues that form white blood cells) have been observed in humans occupationally exposed to benzene. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified benzene as a Group A human carcinogen. However, such effects occur when exposures are continuous for long periods. Since the average benzene concentration for all of the samples (38 ) was below the 1-year MEG (39 ) no chronic effects are expected. Brief or short-term inhalation exposure to benzene may cause acute effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, as well as eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. At high concentrations unconsciousness can occur. Since the peak benzene concentrations of benzene from the burn pit samples (115 and 94 ) were below the short term MEGs (14-day MEG =160 and 8-hour MEG=1600 ), no (acute) health effects are expected during the mission. Therefore, acute and chronic hazard severity levels are both considered negligible. b. Hazard Probability. The hazard probability was based on an approximation of the percentage of personnel that would be exposed to an identified hazard above the MEG (in terms of concentration and as well as exposure assumptions) and using TG 230, Table 3 2. Though some personnel may be exposed to smoke plumes when wind patterns may change, the vast majority of personnel are not exposed to the smoke plumes or benzene on a daily basis. Due to wind direction variation, the probability that personnel through out Camp Fallujah, Iraq would be 3

Deployment OEH Risk Characterization, Ambient Air VOC Samples, Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12 14 Dec 07, exposed to concentrations of benzene above the 1-year MEG is considered occasional. For the samples collected downwind of the burn pit, since the area was said to be non-populated, the probability that personnel will be exposed to the smoke plumes on a daily basis in that area is considered unlikely. c. Risk Estimate and Confidence. The hazard severity and probability levels described above were used with the ORM matrix in TG 230, Table 3 3, or FM 5 19 to provide a risk estimate for exposure to the identified hazard. Table 1 summarizes the risk estimate for the identified hazard. The risk estimate for exposure to VOCs in the ambient air at Camp Fallujah, Iraq is considered low. According to TG 230, Table 3 5, confidence in the risk estimate is considered low because only one burn pit sampling event has occurred, the source of benzene is not known, and it is unknown if these results are consistently representative of the burn pit or entire camp. In general, the confidence level in risk estimates is usually low to medium due to consistent lack of specific exposure information associated with troop movement and activity patterns; other routes/sources of potential OEH hazards not identified; and uncertainty regarding impacts of multiple chemicals present, particularly those affecting the same body organs/systems. Table 1. Risk Estimate Summary for Exposure to VOCs in the Ambient Air, Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12-14 December 2007 Parameter Exposure Hazard- Hazard Hazard Operational Specific Risk Severity Probability Risk Estimate Estimate Confidence Benzene Acute NEGLIGIBLE UNLIKELY LOW Benzene Chronic NEGLIGIBLE OCCASIONAL LOW LOW LOW Other VOCs None detected at concentrations greater than a MEG LOW 8. CONCLUSION. The OEH risk estimate for exposure to VOCs in the ambient air at Camp Fallujah, Iraq is low. While peak concentrations of benzene were above the long-term screening value (1 year MEG), overall concentrations due not represent levels at which chronic or acute effects would be expected. Therefore exposure to the benzene or other VOCs in the ambient air at Camp Fallujah, Iraq is expected to have little or no impact on unit readiness. However, the confidence in the risk estimate is considered low because only one burn pit sampling event has occurred, the source of benzene is unknown, and/or it is unknown if these results are consistently representative of the burn pit or entire camp. 4

Deployment OEH Risk Characterization, Ambient Air VOC Samples, Camp Fallujah, Iraq, 12 14 Dec 07, 9. RECOMMENDATIONS AND NOTE. a. Recommendations. (1) Reduce exposure to the area downwind of the burn pit and to areas in close proximity to generators as much as possible to reduce the potential for adverse health effects. (2) Resample the surrounding areas of the burn pit in multiple sites including locations downwind and upwind from the burn pit to better characterize the adjacent ambient air. (3) Continue to collect samples from this location at least once every 6 days for the deployment duration (or as long as possible) to better characterize VOC concentrations in the ambient air to which personnel are typically exposed, and to increase confidence in risk estimates at this location. (4) Minimize the amount of plastics disposed in the burn pit through recycling, use of reusable flatware in dining facilities, and other pollution reduction methods. (5) Avoid having any personal downwind of the burn pit if or when petroleum products are used to aid the burning of trash in the burn pit. b. Note. This OEH risk assessment is specific to the exposure assumptions identified above and the sample results assessed in this report. If the assumed exposure scenario changes, provide updated information so that the risk estimate can be reassessed. If additional samples from this location are collected, a new OEH risk assessment will be completed. 5
