            REPORT TO THE CONGRESS


.x.x  't-'  hIt/1

     i _     BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

             OF THE UNITED STATES

                                                           LM100490







             Health Monitoring Needed


             For Laboratory Employees


             Environmental Protection Agency


             The Environmental Protection Agency has
             not put into operation an agencywide pro-
             gram for the health monitoring of laboratory
             personnel even though numbers of its staff are
             potentially exposed on a continuing daily
             basis to harmful substances, fumes, dusts, and
             gases.

             Of the 1,329 employees at laboratories GAO
             visited, Agency officials acknowledged 778 as
             potentially exposed to hazardous and toxic
             substances. On occasion, laboratory staff have
             experienced various harmful effects from
             exposure to dangerous substances without
             adequate provision for health monitoring by
             the Agency.
