Title of Collaborative Activity:

Guidance Manual for Assessing Health Impacts of Multiple Chemicals and Other Stressors

Description of Collaborative Activity:

This manual, Guidance Manual for Assessing Health Impacts of Multiple Chemicals and Other Stressors, is a revision of ATSDR’s 2004 Guidance Manual for the Assessment of Joint Toxic Action of Chemical Mixtures (ATSDR 2004a). The revised manual serves as a supplement to the ATSDR (2005) Public Health Assessment Guidance Manual by describing a recommended process to evaluate the potential public health impacts of exposures to multiple chemicals and other stressors, a frequent occurrence and concern for people living in the vicinity of sites with toxic substances. The revised manual builds on the process described in the 2004 manual and reviews scientific research advancements since 2000 related to assessing health effects from exposures to multiple chemicals and other stressors.
