Key issues in carcinogen risk assessment guidelines, Society for Risk Analysis
On December 4, 1992, the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) held a workshop, under a cooperative agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency and the California Environmental Protection Agency, to examine three issues in cancer risk assessment: (1) improvement of risk characterization; (2) use of meta-analysis; and (3) use of biological data in qualitative and quantitative risk assessments. The SRA's Organizing/Advisory Committee for the workshop recruited panels of experts to consider and present their views on each issue. The workshop did not seek consensus from the panelists. A Drafting Subcommittee of the Organizing/Advisory Committee developed its own recommendations and observations based on the information and ideas presented and discussed at the workshop. This report summarizes the recommendations and observations of the Drafting Subcommittee.
