Does your Emergency Response Plan use DOE’s “Protective Action Criteria” (PAC)

The Department of Energy has a little-known database that is a goldmine for emergency planners and responders.  This database is called the Protective Action Criteria for Chemicals (PACs), and it uses a hierarchy-based system of the three (3) exposure guideline systems: 

1. Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs)
2. Emergency Response Planning Guidelines (ERPGs), and
3. Temporary Emergency Exposure Limits (TEELs)
