Abstract |
The theoretical and practical considerations in the application of structure-activity relationships (SAR) to chemical hazard assessment have been the subject of much research and debate. In order to focus this research on producing the most cost-effective methods of chemical evaluation, EPA sponsored a workshop on SAR in Environmental Sciences in San Antonio, Texas. Experts from industry, academia and government were invited to examine the state-of-the-art of current SAR methods, the limitations of SAR for EPAs mission, and develop research priorities for SAR over the next two years. This report is a summary of the workshop findings. |
