Chapter Profile

Although the ACHMM Buffalo Bayou Chapter is the Houston-area membership chapter of ACHMM, we serve a wider constituency than just certified CHMMs. We are an open membership organization that welcomes anyone with an interest or background in environmental health and safety, emergency response, hazardous materials handling, or environmental consulting. Our members include professionals from the manufacturing sector, private sector consultants, public sector regulators and emergency management fields, and others interested in the programs and networking that the Buffalo Bayou Chapter offers. We have an excellent program of professional speakers and a commitment to the communities in which we live.

2009 Meetings

January 15, 6:30 pm - our first meeting of the year will be a joint meeting with the AIHA

Dr. R. Everett Langford will present the topic, “ERPGs as Community Exposure Standards.” Emergency Response Planning Guides (ERPGs) refer to exposure durations of 1 hour (with shorter periods for some chemicals). Chemicals receive ERPGs following a rigorous peer review of the chemical, medical and toxicological literature. This information may be used by local emergency responders to assist with and pre-plan the appropriate response to a chemical release to the community. Dr.R. Everett Langford will introduce the ERPG, discuss their utility and provide an AIHA ERPG Committee update.
