A growing concern regarding troop's exposures (real or perceived), for hazardous compounds during international operations has been identified in the international arena of Force Health Protection (FHP). The issue is crucial from an operational as well as a post deployment view, and includes all aspects from exposure and sampling strategies to risk perception and risk communication. The objective of the present report is to propose an approach on how to identify military relevant compounds (MRC) that may be of acute or long term health concerns for Swedish troops, including a sampling strategy for identification of such compounds in Swedish deployments. An approach to systematically select and prioritize MRC is described together with an initial inventory of MRC of concern derived from various literature sources. The necessity of a database for containing and retrieving consistent data is pointed out and the function of such a database as a tool in the risk management process is outlined. Strategies for field sampling (air) is presented in two aspects; Base line ambient monitoring by stationary monitoring (background levels from different sources), and "worst case" personal monitoring. A proposal for a tiered approach is presented, where need for sampling is evaluated depending on operational and health evaluation during the pre deployment and deployment phases. The report has been based on the close interaction with the international network in the field.
