Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:305705
The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) of EPA`s Science Advisory Board (SAB), supplemented by expert consultants (together referred to as the Panel), met on May 5--6, 1998 to review the February 1998 draft document, Health Assessment Document for Diesel Emissions (PB98-124308), in a public meeting in Research Triangle Park, NC. An SAB Subcommittee conducted an initial review of the diesel topic in 1990. Subsequently, CASAC reviewed the 1995 draft and found it wanting. At the May 1998 meeting and in written comments provided to EPA staff, the Panel assessed the adequacy of the present draft as an accurate statement of current knowledge about the health effects of diesel exhaust inhaled in the environment, and made numerous suggestions for improvement. The report describes the Panel`s views in more detail, and contains its responses to the four specific questions posed by EPA as a charge to the Panel.
