Target Audience:
Environmental/Toxics Issues: chromium or chromium copper arsenate (CCA), lead, mercury, pesticides, phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), toxics Health Issues: cancer, disabilities (including learning, developmental and others), immune system health, nervous system/neurological health, reproductive health Visit the website Comments: The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued three groundbreaking reports over the past few years, but their major recommendations—that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as other government agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should make several changes to strengthen their toxic chemical risk assessments—have not been heeded. In this paper, the authors make the case that federal agencies should immediately begin to incorporate these changes into their assessments.
