Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) (42 
U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) by establishing certain requirements for ATSDR and 
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with regard to hazardous 
substances which are most commonly found at facilities on the CERCLA 
National Priorities List (NPL). Among these statutory requirements is a 
mandate for the Administrator of ATSDR to prepare toxicological 
profiles for each substance included on the priority lists of hazardous 
substances. These lists identified 275 hazardous substances that ATSDR 
and EPA determined pose the most significant potential threat to
