Proposed Project
Assessment of Chemical Exposures
(ACE) Investigations—New—Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR)
Background and Brief Description
The Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) is requesting
a three-year generic clearance for the
Assessment of Chemical Exposures
(ACE) Investigations to assist state and
local health departments after toxic

substance spills or chemical incidents.
ACE investigations are a component of
the National Toxic Substance Incidents
Program (NTSIP). NTSIP was
introduced in 2010 as a comprehensive
agency approach to toxic substance
incident surveillance, prevention, and
response. This three-part program
includes a proposal for state-based
surveillance for toxic substance releases,
a national database of toxic substance
incidents combining data from many
sources, and the ACE investigations.
The ACE Investigations focus on
performing rapid epidemiological
assessments to assist state, regional,
local, or tribal health departments (the
requesting agencies) to respond to or
prepare for acute chemical releases. The
main objectives for performing these
rapid assessments are to:
1. Characterize exposure and acute
health effects of respondents exposed to
toxic substances from discrete, chemical
releases and determine their health
statuses;
2. identify needs (i.e. medical and
basic) of those exposed during the
releases to aid in planning interventions
in the community;
3. assess the impact of the incidents
on health services use and share lessons
learned for use in hospital, local, and
state planning for chemical incidents;
and
4. identify cohorts that may be
followed and assessed for persistent
health effects resulting from acute
releases.
Because each chemical incident is
different, it is not possible to predict in
advance exactly what type of and how
many respondents will need to be
consented and interviewed to effectively
evaluate the incident. Respondents
typically include, but are not limited to
emergency responders such as police,
fire, hazardous material technicians,
emergency medical services, and
personnel at hospitals where patients
from the incident were treated.
Incidents may occur at businesses or in
the community setting; therefore,
respondents may also include business
owners, managers, workers, customers,
community residents, pet owners, and
those passing through the affected area.
Data will be collected by the multidisciplinary ACE team consisting of
staff from ATSDR, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the requesting agencies. ATSDR has
developed a series of draft survey forms
that can be quickly tailored in the field
to collect data that will meet the goals
of the investigation. They will be
administered based on time permitted
and urgency. For example, it is
preferable to administer the general
survey to as many respondents as
possible. However, if there are time
constraints, the shorter household
survey or the Rapid Response Registry
form may be administered instead. The
individual surveys collect information
about exposure, acute health effects,
health services use, medical history,
needs resulting from the incident,
communication during the release,
health impact on children and pets, and
demographic data. Hospital personnel
are asked about the surge, response and
communication, decontamination, and
lessons learned.
Depending on the situation, data may
be collected by face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, written surveys,
mailed surveys, or on-line surveys.
Medical and veterinary charts may also
be reviewed. In rare situations, an
investigation might involve collection of
clinical specimens.
In the past, ACE investigations have
been performed in response to requests
for assistance from state, regional, local,
or tribal health departments under OMB
No. 0920–0008, which expires July 31,
2014. ATSDR anticipates up to four ACE
investigations per year. The number of
participants has ranged from 30–715,
averaging about 300 per year. Therefore,
the total annualized estimated burden
will be 591 hours per year.
Participation in ACE investigations is
voluntary and there are no anticipated
costs to respondents other than their
time.
