Trichloroethylene Health Risk Assessment

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the availability of a report titled, "Trichloroethylene Health Risk Assessment: Synthesis and Characterization," External Review Draft, (EPA/600/P-01/002A). The draft assessment was prepared by EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA), a part of the Office of Research and Development. This report is a draft for review purposes only and does not constitute Agency policy. EPA is also announcing a 60-day public comment period on the draft assessment. EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB) will convene an external peer- review panel to review the draft assessment in the Fall. The SAB will publish a subsequent Federal Register notice to announce the time and place of the peer-review meeting, including information on how the public can participate. After the peer-review meeting, NCEA will address the panel's comments and the public's comments and issue a final assessment. At that time, a summary of the final assessment will be included on EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS).
