| Abstract |
The report presents the findings of the Municipal Waste Combustion Subcommittee of the Environmental Effects, Transport and Fate Committee of EPA's Science Advisory Board's review of the draft document 'Methodology for the Assessment of Health Risks Associated with Multiple Pathway Exposure to Municipal Waste Combustion Emissions' prepared by the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards and the Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office. While the Committee found the overall methodology to be conceptually thorough, it also identified areas where technical improvements are needed. Since the document will be used to develop a tool for assessing multiple media exposures from waste combustions emissions the Subcommittee outlined specific concerns and recommendations. |
