Chemical Illness Response
"Chemical Illness Response: Guidelines for Public Health Investigations of
Acute Onset Illness Clusters of Chemical Etiology" Michigan Department of
Community Health. Sept 2007, 33 pages.
http://www.michigan.gov /documents/mdch/Chemical _Illness_Response_final_210418 _7.pdf
Purpose: This document provides local and state public health professionals
with a set of guidelines for public health response to reports of illness
clusters where the cause of the illness is a chemical exposure. These
guidelines address illnesses with acute onset. They do not address chronic
or long-latency diseases, environmental exposure concerns in the absence of
disease, or illnesses from radiation exposure. The guidelines apply to
chemical associated illnesses from all exposure sources (e.g., contaminated
food, toxins, water, consumer products, air) and routes of exposure --
ingestion, inhalation, and dermal.
