a written report that provides advice on a specific public health issue related to real or possible human exposure to toxic material
A response to a specific question or request for information pertaining to a hazardous substance or facility (which includes waste sites). Such a request often includes a time-critical element that necessitates a rapid response; therefore, it is a more limited response than an public health assessment.
A review of available information or collection of new data to respond to a specific health question or request for information about a potential environmental hazard. Health consultations are focused on a specific exposure issue. Health consultations are therefore more limited than a public health assessment, which reviews the exposure potential of each pathway and chemical.
