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;
