Peer Consultation Workshop On Approaches To Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Health Assessment
Because of the complexity of the scientific literature related to PAH mixtures, the EPA sponsored a two-day peer consultation workshop on October 24-25, 2001 to examine alternative approaches to the health assessment of PAH mixtures. Objectives of the workshop were to generate individual scientific opinions on (1) the extent to which existing approaches to PAH health assessment were supported by the current scientific literature and (2) how well each approach addressed the range of exposure situations and monitoring data encompassed by EPA program offices. The workshop focused on the extensive carcinogenicity literature for PAHs. This report provides a summary of the proceedings of the workshop.
