ACTIVISTS VOW FRESH DATA CHALLENGES TO KEY EPA ASBESTOS RISK STUDY

摘要

Environmentalists are vowing to file fresh data quality challenges to a key EPA study backing an agency approach to determining whether asbestos has been cleaned up to safe levels at Superfund sites, after the agency made changes to the study that activists say fail to address their concerns over the document. The activists' vow comes as EPA's Inspector General (IG) prepares to next month unveil a report - requested by activists - into the agency's handling of alleged asbestos contamination on Illinois beaches that could have major implications for EPA's approach to asbestos risk assessment at Superfund sites throughout the country.
