	History
		In April 1996, upon the realignment and downsizing of March Air Force Base, the museum (all but the airplanes, which remain on loan to USAF) was turned over from the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB, through the Joint Powers Commission, to the March Field Museum Foundation, to be run as a private, non-profit institution.
		As part of the Air Force's realignment and transition, March's two Reserve units, the 445th Airlift Wing and the 452d Air refueling Wing were deactivated and their personnel and equipment joined under the 452d Air Mobility Wing on April 1, 1994.
		As the Air Force restructures and prepares for new challenges, March seems destined to remain as an important base for the air operations of tomorrow.

		Exposure was based on three factors: 1) the use of the contaminated ground water that determined the human exposure route(s), 2) the length of time the ground water was used (period of exposure), and 3) the types and amounts of volatile organic compounds and boron in the water during the exposure period.
		Based on this concentration and assuming 1 L/day and 2 L/day ingestion (dermal contact was not considered a health threat at these concentrations and inhalation is not an issue because boron is not volatile) of tap water for children and adults, the exposure dose for boron is 0.058 mg/kg/day and 0.037 mg/kg/day, respectively.
