National Academy will review EPA's risk assessment program

摘要

The National Academy of Sciences has agreed to review U.S. EPA's beleaguered chemical assessment program, the Integrated Risk Information System. The prestigious, congressionally chartered academy "will convene a committee in 2018, and issue a consensus report" on IRIS within six months, according to Tina Bahadori, who oversees IRIS as director of EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment.
