Abstract
The Metal's Subcommittee agrees with the conclusions reached in the draft document concerning the evidence of carcinogenicity using epidemiological and animal data. The Subcommittee was unable to research a consensus on advising the Agency on the use of existing data to estimate an upper bound to human risk. In addition, the Subcommittee continues to disagree with the Agency's choice of a model for the pharmacokinetics of inhaled beryllium particulates. These and other issues are detailed in the report.
