OSTI ID:6721695

On June 2 and 3, the EPA sponsored a workshop to peer review draft neurotoxicity risk assessment guidelines. The meeting opened with discussion of key features of the draft guidelines, including areas of expected controversy, followed by workshop review of the scientific foundation for each element in the guidelines. Workshop participants from academia, industry, and government (state and federal) brought expertise in a wide range of relevant disciplines to the discussion. The workshop did not attempt to address all of the principles, concepts, and methods that are important for neurotoxicity risk assessment. Rather, EPA asked for expert opinion on the logic, scientific validity, and utility of the principles proposed in the workshop draft as general guidance for EPA risk assessors. The Agency is using the peer review comments to help complete a proposal for neurotoxicity risk assessment guidelines that will be published for public comment and reviewed by EPA's Science Advisory Board during the coming year.
