Scientific Integrity: EPA's Efforts to Enhance the Credibility and Transparency of Its Scientific Processes by John B. Stephenson Pdf

The EPA¿s ability to effectively implement its mission of protecting public health and the environment relies largely on the integrity and transparency of: (1) its assessments of the potential human health effects of exposure to chemicals; and (2) its fed. advisory committees, which provide independent, expert reviews of EPA¿s scientific work. EPA¿s Integrated Risk Info. System (IRIS) program is critical in developing the agency¿s scientific positions on the potential health effects of exposure to toxic chemicals. EPA¿s Science Advisory Board convenes panels to review EPA¿s scientific assessments. This testimony highlights scientific integrity issues re: (1) the IRIS assessment process; and (2) fed. advisory committee policies and procedures. Illustrations.

EPA Science by United States Government Accountability Office Pdf

The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) contains EPA's scientific position on the potential human health effects of exposure to more than 540 chemicals. Toxicity assessments in the IRIS database constitute the first two critical steps of the risk assessment process, which in turn, provides the foundation for risk management decisions. Thus, IRIS is a critical component of EPA's capacity to support scientifically sound environmental decisions, policies, and regulations. This testimony discusses (1) highlights of GAO's March 2008 report, Chemical Assessments: Low Productivity and New Interagency Review Process Limit the Usefulness and Credibility of EPA's Integrated Risk Information System; (2) key aspects of EPA's revised IRIS assessment process, released on April 10, 2008; and (3) progress EPA has made in completing assessments in fiscal year 2008. For the March 2008 report, GAO reviewed and analyzed EPA data and interviewed officials at relevant agencies, including the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). For this testimony, GAO supplemented the prior audit work with a review of EPA's revised IRIS assessment process announced on April 10, 2008. We also updated our information on EPA's assessment productivity through September 12, 2008.

Chemical Regulation: Observations on Improving the Toxic Substances Control Act by John Stephenson Pdf

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The EPA is authorized under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to obtain information on the risks of chemicals and to control those that it determines to pose an unreasonable risk. EPA also conducts assessments of chemicals under its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program. Nonetheless, EPA does not have sufficient information to determine whether it should establish controls to limit public exposure to many chemicals that may pose substantial health risks. This testimony addresses EPA's implementation of TSCA and IRIS and options for: (1) obtaining more information on chemical risks; (2) controlling these risks; and (3) sharing more of the information collected under TSCA.
