EPRI Comments on Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter
EPRI recently submitted comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the Second External Review Draft of the Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter (PM).  Comments focused on major scientific shortcomings in the assessment, including insufficient consideration of the specific components of PM when evaluating adverse health effects.  Non-PM co-pollutants, and the role they may play in observed effects, were also inadequately addressed.  For more information, contact Annette Rohr, (650) 855-2297, arohr@epri.com, or Ron Wyzga, (650) 855-2132, rwyzga@epri.com.
