This committee will assess changes that have been implemented (or plan to be implemented) by the U.S. EPA for its Integrated Risk Information System in response to recommendations made in previous Academies reports.

This study aims to better understand the interactions between environmental chemicals and human microbiomes, including the intestinal, skin, and lung microbiomes, and the implications of those interactions on human health risk.

An ad hoc committee will evaluate the report Assessment of Potential Long-term Health Effects on Army Human Test Subjects of Relevant Biological and Chemical Agents, Drugs, Medications and Substances: Literature Review and Analysis.

Traditional toxicity testing evaluates chemicals at amounts much higher than typical human exposures, but some chemicals can cause health effects at low doses.This report outlines a strategy to improve EPA's ability to evaluate evidence of low-dose effects of endocrine active chemicals (EACs).

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency supports extramural research at academic and nonprofit institutions through a competitive, peer-reviewed grant program known as Science to Achieve Results.

This report, Investigative Strategies for Lead Source Attribution at Superfund Sites Associated with Mining Activities, examines the extent to which various sources contribute to environmental lead concentrations in areas at or near Superfund sites that are situated within or adjacent to lead-mining areas.
