Interim Report, Missile Community Cancer Study, Minot Air Force Base, Round 2 Results
Abstract
At the request of the Air Force Global Strike Commander (AFGSC/CC), the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) Defense Centers for Public Health-Dayton (DCPH-D) Occupational and Environmental Health Department Consultative Services Division (OEC) performed an environmental health survey for all fifteen Missile Alert Facilities (MAFs) at Minot AFB, North Dakota. The purpose of this environmental health survey was to assess elevated cancer concerns within the Air Force missile community by characterizing and documenting potential exposures to environmental hazards in the MAFs. Round 2 occurred from 2 to 12 October 2023 and built upon the Round 1 environmental health survey which occurred from 20 to 27 July 2023. Round 2 was executed as part of a three-round surveillance effort to determine seasonal variations associated with potential environmental hazards at MAF locations. Round 2 repeated area air sampling, direct reading instrument (DRI) air monitoring, swipe sampling of surfaces, drinking water sampling, and soil sampling which were conducted in Round 1.
