Abstract |
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Water is charged with protecting public health and the environment from adverse exposure to chemicals and microbials in water media, such as ambient and drinking waters, waste water/sewage sludge and sediments. In support of this mission, the Office of Water/Office of Science and Technology (OST) develops health standards, health criteria, health advisories, and technical guidance documents for water and water-related media. Under this work assignment, documents prepared by OST are to undergo external peer review. Peer review is an important component of the scientific process. It provides a focused, objective evaluation of a research proposal, publication, risk assessment, health advisory, guidance or other document submitted for review. |
