EPA RSL/RML vs ERG for iOS

US EPA Regional Screening Levels and Removal Management Levels The US Environmental Protection Agency Regional Screening Levels (RSLs) are chemical-specific concentrations for individual contaminants in air, drinking water and soil that, if exceeded, may warrant further investigation or site cleanup. The Regional Removal Management Levels (RMLs) are chemical-specific concentrations for individual contaminants in tap water and soil that may be used to support the decision for EPA to undertake a removal action. The RSLs and RMLs are risk-based levels, calculated using the latest toxicity values, default exposure assumptions and physical and chemical properties. They are updated twice a year. For more information, please see the RSL (https://www.epa.gov/risk/regional-screening-levels-rsls) and RML (https://www.epa.gov/risk/regional-removal-management-levels-chemicals-rmls) websites.

PHMSA’s Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is the go-to resource for first responders during the initial phase of a dangerous goods or hazardous materials transportation incident. The ERG app is a valuable companion, based on the latest edition of the ERG, to help responders quickly access critical information at their fingertips. The app features an indexed list of dangerous goods, including their associated ID number, general hazards, and recommended safety precautions. In practical scenarios, such as responding to an overturned tractor trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard, emergency responders can use the app to quickly identify the material associated with the placard and get guidance on how to respond effectively.
