Presentation to the EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) Stakeholder PFAS Workshop February 2024
Description:
The EPA National PFAS Testing Strategy was intended to be iteratively updated and refined based on on-going research and data collection activities. The on-going research effort includes: 1. Updated models for physical chemical properties to better inform environmental and exposure pathways. 2. Environmental monitoring using non-targeted methods to help prioritize data poor categories. 3. Mechanistic and toxicokinetic data to help refine PFAS categories and inform study needs. 4. Novel toxicity testing and human health assessment approach methods to more rapidly fill information gaps and anchor data poor categories. The integration of the PFAS categories and research activities provides a strategic approach to focus data collection activities under TSCA and other authorities.
