The Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP) assesses chemical risks to children. This pilot program evaluated 23 chemicals, identifying data needs and informing public health through peer-reviewed assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Toxicology
  • Risk Assessment

Background:

  • Children face unique risks from chemical exposures.
  • The Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP) was established to address these risks.
  • Chemicals are selected based on presence in human tissues, food, water, or air.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the VCCEP process.
  • To review key findings from the pilot program's initial chemical evaluations.
  • To identify common themes and future issues in children's chemical risk assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Manufacturers submitted Tier 1 hazard, exposure, and risk assessments for 23 chemicals.
  • Independent peer consultation meetings reviewed sponsor submissions.

  • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) made data-needs determinations.

    • Main Results:

    • Summaries of sponsor submissions, peer consultation discussions, and U.S. EPA data-needs decisions are presented.
    • Key findings from evaluations of vinylidene chloride, diphenyl ethers, and alkanes are discussed.
    • Common themes and emerging issues in the VCCEP pilot program are identified.

    Conclusions:

    • The VCCEP provides a framework for characterizing children's chemical risks.
    • Peer consultation and U.S. EPA review inform data needs for further assessment.
    • The pilot program highlights the importance of ongoing evaluation of chemical safety for children.
