Peer Review of the Draft Risk Evaluation of Asbestos

On June 8-11, 2020, EPA held a public virtual meeting of the TSCA Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals on the draft risk evaluation of asbestos (originally scheduled for April 27-30, 2020). The agency will use the scientific advice, information, and recommendations from the SACC, as well as public comments, to inform the final risk evaluation. The meeting was virtual (conducted on the phone and webcast only).

EPA held a preparatory virtual meeting on April 7, 2020, for the panel and public to comment on the clarity and scope of the draft charge questions for the June meeting. For additional information please contact the DFO, Dr. Diana Wong (wong.diana-m@epa.gov).
