I received 8 responses to my inquiry yesterday about developing a training for the local Fire Department in responding to lab situations. I'm still organizing the information, but I did want to share with the list one resource that was pointed out to me. The EPA has a Windows application called "IAQX Model" for Indoor Air Quality and Inhalation Exposure (IAQX) available at http://www.epa.gov/appcdwww/iemb/iaqx.htm that includes several different modules, including one that models chemical spills. The modules run different mathematical models for off gassing of specific situations based on information in the literature, including: Program Purpose Reference GPS.EXE A general-purpose simulation program Guo (1996) VBX.EXE Models for predicting VOC emissions from solvent-based indoor coating materials based on product formulation Guo, et al. (1999) SPILL.EXE Models for indoor solvent spills Reinke and Brosseau (1997); Drivas (1982) SLAB.EXE A model for VOC emissions from diffusion-controlled homogeneous slabs such as new carpet backing Little, et al. (1994) PM.EXE A model for indoor particulate matter Nazaroff and Cass (1989) I thought that this resource might be of immediate interest to some DCHAS members. Thanks for all for their help! - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu fax: (802)656-8682
