Abstract
The report is one of four reports comparing risks currently associated with major environmental problems. Cancer risk associated with 31 environmental problem areas under EPA's jurisdiction was evaluated and then ranked according to the relative magnitude of the cancer risk. The report discusses the process used for ranking the environmental problems, identifies the difficulties encountered in evaluating cancer risks and presents the relative rankings. It also highlights several issues that affected the ranking of specific environmental problems. The ranking should not be regarded as a list establishing priorities for regulation.
