The Environmental Protection Agency

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Toxicology
  • Risk Assessment

Background:

  • The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD) uses a Waste Research Coordination Team to identify future research priorities.
  • This team plans the ORD Superfund research program, comprising members from ORD laboratories and the Superfund office.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the ORD's future research plans for the Superfund program.
  • To address identified research needs for improving environmental risk assessment methods and reducing uncertainty.

Main Methods:

  • The ORD Waste Research Coordination Team identifies and prioritizes research areas.
  • Superfund scientists define specific applied research topics based on risk assessment needs.

Main Results:

  • Key research areas identified include dermal exposure models, toxicity values, exposure factors, pharmacokinetic dose-response models, bioavailability, and statistical methods.
  • The paper details the ORD's strategic research plans to tackle these critical areas.

Conclusions:

  • The ORD is committed to advancing Superfund research to enhance the accuracy and reliability of environmental risk assessments.
  • Future research will focus on developing improved models and methods to reduce uncertainty in site-specific evaluations.
