Possible Listing o? Acid Aerosols as
Criteria Pollutant
Under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to periodically
review national ambient air quality standards fNAAQS) and the
criteria on which they are baaed. The Act alao requires the
scientific advice on any additional knowledge that is required to
evaluate existing, or setting new or revised NAAQS. ?o evaluate
the health effects of the class of air pollutants known as acid
aerosols, the Committee requested that EPA prepare an "Acid
Aerosol Issue Paper". This issue Paper was reviewed by the Acid
Aerosol Subcommittee of CASAC in June 1988. This report presents
the conclusions and recommendations of that Subcommittee as .
transmitted to the CASAC.

Acid Aerosol Research Needs
Under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, the 0.3.
environmental Protection Agency (8PA) is required to periodically
review national ambient air quality standard* (NAAQS) and the
criteria on which they are based. The Act also requires the
clean Air scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) to provide
scientific advice on any additional knowledge that is required to
evaluate existing, or setting new or revised NAAQS. To evaluate
the health effects of the class of air pollutants known as acid'
aerosols, the Committee requested that BPA prepare an "Acid
Aerosol Issue Paper*. In reviewing this Issue Paper, the
committee developed a series of research recommendations for acid
aerosols, prioritizing them as high, medium, and low. This
report presents these) research recommendations in four parts
characterizing and exposure, 2) animal toxicology, 3) human
exposure, and 4) epidemiology.

"""""——— pollutants (NESHAP): Standards for
Radionuclides"
i
The ffavifftjsjsjamtfcl Protection Agency's Office of Radiation
Programs described its) plant to update the technical basis
supporting the national Emission standard for Hazardous Air
pollutants (NESiAP) for radionuclides. Plan* relating to sources
of radionuclides in the) environment, transport modeling,
exposure, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty analysis were
described in a series of briefings at public meetings and
documents including Radionuclides, Background Information
Document for Pinal Rules (1984) and two memoranda from the
Director of the Office of Radiation program* "Radiation Risk
Assessment Methodology* Nay 23, 1988 and "Review of Clean Air Act
Risk Assessments by Radiation Advisory Committee," June 21, 1988.
G-4
-------
The Sources and Transport Subcommittee of the Science
Advisory Board's Radiation Advisory Committee reviewed these
plans. *a;or findings and recommendations were made regarding
the state-of-the-art of the transport model (AIRDOS-SPA),
uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, model validation, and the
use of best estimates in risk assessment. The Subcommittee found
that portions of the AIRDOS-EPA methodology are no longer
state-of-the-art, nor are they completely defensible from a
scientific viewpoint because important advances in modeling
radionuclide transport have not been incorporated. Because
treatment of modeling uncertainties in radiation risk assessment
by the Office of Radiation Programs has not been quantitative or
rigorous, the assessments cannot be scientifically evaluated.
The Subcommittee recommended that best estimates with appropriate
uncertainty statements should be used in all risk assessments.
The "best" estimate should be statistically defined, according to
the target population or individual and the shape of the
uncertainty distribution.
SAB-gHC-89-004 Thyroid Pollicular Cell Carcinogeneais
On July 14-15, 1988 the Science Advisory Board's
Environmental Health committee met to review issues relating to
the health assessment document for thyroid follicular cell
carcinoma. The general overall conclusion of the Committee vas
that the document was well thought out and articulated clearly
the importance of thyroid follicular call carcinoma. The major
recommendations of the committee included the addition of
illustrative casa studies, the provision of more detailed
discussion of the mechanism involved in each of the stages from
hormone imbalance through hyperplasia and the elucidation of the
methods and approaches to be used to define thresholds).
SA8-EHC-89-005 Male and Female Reproductive Guidelines

Drinking Water Contaminants Involved in Phase
II Draft Regulations
The Drinking Hater Subcommittee of the Science Advisory
Board's Environmental Health committee met June 2-3, 1988 to
review issues relating to the treatment technology involved in
the proposed phase IX regulations from the Office of Drinking
water. Among its recommendations, the Subcommittee urged the
Agency to speak in terms of field testing new types of treatment
techniques, rather than classes of compounds or contaminants.
The Subcommittee felt that priority in field testing should go to
those technologies which are likely to be most widely used. Once
a technology is well understood, the field testing can be
specified as Best Available Technology (BAT), for a new
contaminant through the use of process model*, physical and
chemical data, and appropriate bench and/or pilot testing.
SAB-EHC-89-008
Health Assessment Document for Phosgene
On July 14-15, 1988 the Science Advisory Board's
Environmental Health Committee met to review issues relating to
the health assessment document for phosgene. The Committee
concluded that the available data for assessing the health
effects of intermittent or chronic exposure to low concentrations
of phosgene are inadequate. They recommend that to help identify
data gaps, a table be prapared comparing the health effects of
ozone. The Committee also recommended inclusion of actual
environmental exposura data to provide a better measure of the
potential hazard when chronic exposure effects are considered.

Under the provisions of Title IV of the Superfund Amendments
and Reauthorization Act of 1987 (P.L. 99-499), the Science
Advisory Board of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has
established the Indoor Air Quality/Total Human Exposure Committee
(IAQTHE) to review the Agency's Indoor Air Quality Implementation
Plan and to provide continuing advice to the Administrator on
indoor air issues. This is the committee's first report,
reflecting its views on the implementation Plan forwarded to the
Congress in 1987. The Committee's major recommendations include
the need for: criteria for establishing research priorities; a
full-time Director with expertise, authority, and direction to
set-up an adequate program; adequate funding to support an
effective indoor air quality program; coordination of research
with other agencies; increasing the role of -research on the sick
building syndrome and building related illnesses; more emphasis
on strategic planning to address both long and short term goals;
and wide dissemination of EPA1a research findings.
SAB-SHC-89-11 Drinking Water Contaminants Involved in the
Phase II Draft Regulation
The Drinking Water Subcommittee of the science Advisory
Board's Environmental Health Committee met June 2-3, 1988 to
review issues relating to the treatment technology involved in
the proposed phase II regulations from the Office of Drinking
Water. Among its recommendations, the Subcommittee urged the
Agency to speak in terms of field testing new types of treatment
techniques, rather than classes of compounds or contaminants.
The subcommittee felt that priority in field testing should go to
those technologies which are likely to be most widely used. Once
a technology is well understood, the field testing can be
specified as Best Available Technology (BAT) for a new
contaminant tmroagh the use of process models, physical and

SAB-EEC-99-OU Resolution on the Ose of Mathematical Models
by BPA for Regulatory Assessment and
Decision-Making
The Environmental Engineering committee (BBC) of the science
Advisory Board (SAB) has prepared a resolution on the use of
mathematical modeling for regulatory assessment and decision-
making. The main points that are addressed in the) resolution are
as follows: 1)There should be a better balance between laboratory
and field data collection; 2) Models should be developed and used
which incorporate state-of-the art scientific understanding of
the processes involved} 3) There should be better confirmation of
models with laboratory and field data; 4) sensitivity and
uncertainty analysis should be conducted} 5) Aa Agency-wide task-
-------
group should b« formed to assess and -guide model use by SPA; 6)
-:?A should hire and support engineers and scientists witin
modeling skills, 7) Model use needs systematic management at P?
and 8> Peer review of models should be conducted at various
levels.
SAB-RSAC-89-013
ORD's Core Research Program
The Agency's Office of Research and Development (ORD), in
following the recommendations outlined in the SAB's Future Risk
report, has taken great strides in restructuring and redefining
the basis approach to and conduct of environmental research at
EPA. The RSAC applauds these efforts and encourages even
broader, bolder strokes that vill address fundamental changes in
the way in which the entire Agency, the Federal government, and
the nation perceives and reacts to environmental problems. The
effort should be viewed in the context of an overearching goal of
risk reduction, which includes anticipating future problems, as
well as reacting to current problems, and enlisting the
contributions of the social sciences, as well as utilizing the
resources of the traditional environmental sciences and
engineering. The emerging challenges, on a national and global
scale, demand no less.
SAB-EC-89-014
Fiscal 1990 President's Budget for ORD
The Fiscal year 1990 Environmental Protection Agency's
research program budget provides total funding of $421.5 million,
and 1,873 workyears, increases of $33.6 million and 21 vorkyears
respectively. The Science Advisory Board's Research and
Development Budget Review Subcommittee found encouraging evidence
that the Agency recognises the need for longer term research on
fundamental environmental processes and the need to address
infrastructure problems. The increase of $33.6 million falls far
short of the amount needed. Many programs and issues suffer for
lack of support. High impact, critical topics such a* air
toxics, sludge management, and wetland* decline in support, or at
best, receive) oaly modest Increases. The resources allocated to
maintain and iflprove the research program infrastructure do
indeed constitute) recognition of a serious problem, bat they are
far too smell to achieve the needed rate of replenishing the
existing inventory of obsolescent equipment.
SAB-BC-89-01S scientific and Technological Achievement Awards
The science Advisory Board's 1988 Scientific and
Technological Achievement Awards Subcommittee has responded to
the request of the Assistant Administrator for Research and
Development by reviewing 106 papers authored by Agency scientists
and engineers, which were nominated by the Agency for special
Awards. The request for review, specific awards recommendation*
and Subcommittee roster are contained in the report.

Potential effects of Global Climate chenge on
the U.
-------
This report presents the views of the u. S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board on its review of the
SPA's report to Congress entitled "Potential Effects of Global
Climate Change on the U.S.". The Board regards the request by
Congress foe the EPA to prepare an initial assessment of the
potential effects of global climate change as reasonable and
timely. This Effects Report examines a set of scenarios that are
intended to represent possibilities Cor future climate change.
By examining the consequences associated with these scenarios,
the EPA has attempted to explore a wide range of potential
impacts from the climate alteration on both a national and a
regional basis, in the Subcommittee's judgment the usefulness of
this effort is in providing a first iteration - a point of
departure for additional research on these issues and for
beginning a planning process.by the Federal Government. The
Board commends the Agency for a good initial effort on the
difficult process of translating the science into a beginning of
an environmental assessment. The Effects Report meets the goal
of summarizing available information into an overview of how
global climate alteration could affect the 0. S. As far as the
Subcommittee is aware, it is the first major national effects
study of its kind.
SAB-RAC-89-017
Radon Measurement Proficiency Program
The Radon Measurement Proficiency Program (RMPP) of th*
Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation Programs
was reviewed by the SAB'a Radiation Advisory Committee (RAO.
The RMPP was established in 1986 to provide states and homeowners
with some assurance that individuals and organisations making
radon measurements were* in fact, competent to do so. The
SAB/RAC's recommendations include): definition of separate
objectives for screening, diagnostic, and exposure measurements?
the need for independent exposures when testing devices submitted
by participant*! improved statistical support Cor the program;
blind testing for passive) devices, and consideration of
establishing consensus standards, voluntary accreditation, and
user fees.

For Lead: Exposure Analysis Methodology and validation". The)
Committee concurred with the) general modeling framework presented
in the report and endorsed the use) of the biokinetics model in
children under six years of age, and the use) of the) desegregate
approach in adults. The Committee cautioned that these modeling
predictions were not valid for pregnant women and their fetuses

This is the report of the EPA's Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC) on its review of the Agency,s draft
documents: "Air Quality Criteria Document Supplement (1988)" and
the "Review of the National Ambient Air Quality standards for
Ozone: Assessment of Scientific and Technical Information
(1988)". These documents were reviewed in public session on
December 14-15, 1988, with the Committee reaching the conclusion
that the documents provide an adequate scientific and technical
basis for EPA to retain or revise primary and secondary national
ambient air quality standards for ozone.
EPA-BBTiPC-89-020
Evaluation of the Proposed Guidelines for
Exposure-Related Measurements
The report presents the conclusions and'recommendations of
the 0. S. Environmental Protection Agency** Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of EPA's Proposed Guideline)* for
Exposure-Related Measurements. The Board considers these
proposed guidelines as a logical complement to the previously
issued Guidelines for Estimating Exposures. The earlier
guidelines provide a framework for exposure assessment that may
be integrated with the current guidelines resulting in a useful
tool for exposure assessors. The committee recommends that such
integration take place with careful attention to the necessary
linkages between measurements and modeling.
In addition to integration of the two sets of guidelines,
the committee recommends that the guideline* bo expanded beyond
human health, to encompass exposure assessments in an ecological
context. The focus and intended audience of the guidelines also
need to be defined, and revisions made accordingly* The
committee discussed quality assurance and control stringency, the
importance of eiposure duration considerations, and need*
concerning deve)l«pSMnt and analysis of data. In addition, a
recommendation vtj« made to incorporate demographics, population
dynamics, and pejfalation activity pattern* into the process for
assessing exposures. Finally, the Committee request* that the
guideline* be amended to include reference* to other bodies of
work that contain useful information on eiposure assessment.
SAB-CASAC-89-021
Clinical Research Program of BBRL
The Clinical Lab Review subcommittee of the Clean Kit
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) reviewed the BPA's Clinical
Research Branch (CUB) in order to provide the Agency with advice
concerning current and future direction* in health research at
BPA clinical facility. The Subcommittee concluded that the
Research Plan was being conducted in a professional and
technically adequate manner. The Subcommittee recommended that
-------
additional professional support be provided to two of the three
sections of the Clinical Research Branch, and that the "third
. section be supported in its goals of increased involvement in
field and epidemiologic studies. The Subcommittee commented on
the proportion of effort devoted to specific pollutants, and
advised that a reduction in research on sulfur dioxide and carbon
monoxide was warranted along with a substantial increase in
research on acidic aerosols and a modest increase in research on
nitrogen dioxide. The Subcommittee strongly encouraged that
research on ozone clinical studies continue at the same level of
effort for the next 3-5 years, and was clearly concerned about
the lack of proper justification for the specific projects on
indoor air and toxic pollutants. Finally, the Subcommittee
recommended that a standing, external scientific review/advisory
committee be established for the research program.
SAB-EC-39-022 Review of Five Year ORD Outlook
In recent years the SAB has been conducting a series of
scientific reviews of Agency research programs that have proven
to be a useful means of assessing the quality and relevance of
existing research, identifying research heeds, and involving the
scientific community in the research planning process.
The Board has judged that these activities in toto provide a
more substantive review of the Agency's research plane than would
a focused review of the annual Five Year Research and Development
Plan (Research Outlook). Therefore, the Board declined the
opportunity to review the Research Outlook report.
SAB-EETtFC-89-023 Alaskan Oil Spill BloMdiatlon project
This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U. s. Environmental Protection Agency's science Advisory
Board summarising a review of BPA's "Laboratory Plan for the
Alaskan oil Spill Bioremediation project." This project wa*
designed to provide data to demonstrate the potential use of
bioremediatiosj both as an emergency response tool for prince
William Sound, Md foe future environmental remediation efforts.
The Board supports) OftO's efforts to enhance bioremediation using
addition1 of nutrients, but recommends that parallel efforts to
augment bioresjediation using addition of nutrients, but
recommends that parallel efforts to augment bioresjediation via
inoculation with microorganisms undergo further laboratory
investigation prior to field release. Additional recommendations
included consultation with experts in field plot design to make
sure th*t enhancement of biodegradation rats will be detected by
the experiment, and a simplification of the battery of
environmental effects measurements through association with an
underlying rationale.

S*B-RAC~89-024 Review of ORP Background Information Documents
(NBSBAPS)
-------
:.-. April 26-2.8, 1989 =!re Radiation Advisory Committee of -he
Agency's Science Advisory Board met at the request of the Office
of Radiation Programs to consider the scientific merits of the
Office's Background information Document (BID) on the proposed
regulatory action on radionuclides in connection with the
national Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP). overall the committee found the estimates of the
health risk to be acceptable, however, there were reservations
about the data and arguments used to drive the risks. The
Committee recommended that the most current, relevant data be
used such as that in 9NSCEAR 88 and other consensus documents.
the Committee reaffirmed its previous recommendation that best
estimates be used along with ranges to specify the risks
involved. The Committee recommended that the Agency update its
exposure assessment models, consider the use of measurements when
available, and in the long run become a state-of-the-art
practitioner of environmental transport modeling.

evaluating ORD's preliminary Skills Mix
Assessment
This report presents the concluaiona and recommendations of
the 0. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of BPA's "Preliminary Analysis of the
Skill Mix inventory of Lab Researchers". The Board considers
this preliminary analysis to be a logical first step in a process
that will identify needed changes in BPA's work force to allow
successful implementation of ongoing and future research. As a
result of the analysis, the SAB concluded that a significant
decrease in research personnel has taken place during a period of
escalating environmental concern. Recommendations are provided
to clarify and refine the skills mix data to provide a better
assessment of the skills needed to accomplish current and future
research tasks, and to develop support mechanisms for graduate
training programs] for insuring an adequate supply of researchers
for solving future environmental problems.

Evaluating ORD's criteria for Career
Advancement
This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the a. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarising a review of BPA's "Career Ladders for ORD Field
Scientific and Engineering positions*. The Board,s major
conclusion is that both the criteria and the process are too
internally directed. Therefore, participation by scientists and
engineers external to the Agency and with stature in their fields
in the review and evaluation of the accomplishments of candidates
for promotion is recommended. Such participation of external
parties is essential to the success of the advancement systems in
promoting scientific excellence within the Environmental
Protection Agency.

Evaluation of the Apparent Effects
Threshold (AET) Approach for- Assessing
Sediment Quality
This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the u. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of BPA's Apparent Effects Threshold
Approach for setting sediment quality criteria. The AET approach
integrates data from bulk sediment chemistry, sediment bioassay
and infaunal species measurements to provide estimates of
sediment chemical concentrations above which adverse
environmental effects are thought to occur. An objective of the
AST methodology is to identify adverse effects due to chemicals
occurring in mixtures in sediments by determining specific
chemical concentrations above which adverse effects will always
be found. The method has major strengths in its ability to
determine biological effects and assess interactive chemical
effects. The method is considered by tht Subcommittee to contain
sufficient scientific merit that, with appropriate validation of
the AST values, it could be used to establish sediment quality
values for use at specific sites. In the Subcommittee's opinion,
the AET approach should not bt used to develop general, broadly
applicable sediment quality criteria. Some major limitations
drive this opinion, including the slto specific nature of the
approach, its liability to describe cause and effect
relationships, its lack of independent validation, and its
inability to describe differences in bioavailability of chemicals
on different sediments. The Subcommittee has several suggestions
for strengthening the ABT approach including: building in
replicate sedimeat samples to assessments, devising criteria for
selection of reference sites, including considerations of
physical factorst and developing measures of variance.

Board's major ajmswlusions is that the proposed Drinking Water
equivalent Lovejf, (DWtL) of 0.77 mg/1 of cyanide, baaed on the
1955 Howard andgfansal study, is appropriate. The above
recommendation j»ot withstanding, the Board found the supporting

-------
supplies to EPA pr-ogram office managers to guide them in
preparing their requests for research projects in fiscal year
1991. The SAB Research Strategies Advisory Committee (RSAC) has
reviewed the guidance (Assistant Administrator's interim Guidance
for PY 1991, June 1989) to judge ita adherence to earlier
recommendations and its adequacy to deal with current and
emerging environmental issues.
The RSAC strongly supports the program laid out in the
guidance document. An effort of this type and magnitude is
needed if the Agency is going to fulfill Its Mission of
protecting public health and the environment. Specifically, the
committee finds that the relative emphasis given to core research
and programmatic research is appropriate. Further, given the
budgetary constraints, the distribution of resource* among the
various research components within the two portions of the
research effort is appropriate. The RSAC once again endorses the
need for an institute devoted to ecological studies, a major
commitment to risk reduction research, increased exposure
assessment activity, efforts to reestablish a meaningful grants
program for investigator-initiated grants, and increased
attention to rebuilding the physical and personnel resources of
EPA laboratories.
The RSAC firmly believes that, even in the face of budgetary
constraints, the Agency must retain the Integrity of the core
research program set forth in the Guidance. A viable core
research program requires this level of commitment.
SA8-SC-89-034 Review of the Report to Congress:
Policy Options for Stabilising Global Climate
This report presents the views of the 0. S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board concerning ita review
of the EPA'a draft report to Congress entitled: "Policy Options
for Stabiliting Global Climate". The Board commends EPA for its
portrayal of policy options for stabilising global climate. The
draft StabillsiBf Report represents, to the Board's knowledge,
the most coapmtonsive effort to data to deal with the full range
of radiativolf* active) or greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide,
methane/ nitroej* oxlda, chlorofluorocarbona, osona) over a time
period extending out to the year 2100. This report providaa
worldwide projects of the) emissions of thoao gases under
plausible future scenarios and examines tha effects of policy
options in reducing emissions levels. SOM of tha most important
aspects of these option* can bo foreseen now, even though many
important uncertainties remain, both tha scientific understanding
of tha extent and character of global climate change, and in tha
problems and promise of tha policy opportunities. With
appropriate revisions, tha Board believes that tha raport will
contribute significantly toward increaaad understanding of tha
character and magnitude of tha task of developing policy options
to stabiliie global climate. Further, the Board believes that
assessment of tha potantlal affacta of global climate change, tha
-------
evaluation of stabilizing options, and the research on climate
change, effects technologies that may reduce emission races, and
on che institutional and implementation issues in deploying these
technologies should all be pursued immediately and vigorously as
part of a coordinated program, within EPA, the Federal
Government, and through international organization*.

Office of Water's Proposed sludge Use and
Disposal Regulation (40 CFR, parts 247 i 503)
This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the a. S. environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of the Proposed Sewage Sludge
incineration Rules (40 CPR Part 257 i 503). The Beard's major
conclusion is that incineration is a viable and appropriate
technology for the treatment of sewage sludge but that
deficiencies in the risk and emissions data bases and,
particularly, the analytical methodologies used did not permit
the development of a sound, technically based regulation* The
concept of using a stack gas measure of total hydrocarbons
emissions for monitoring sludge incineration and air pollution
control devices as a general performance indicator is sound, but
the proposed use of total hydrocarbons as direct indicator of
risk is not supportable due to the lack of a direct link between
total hydrocarbons and the total spectrum of organics which might
be emitted from sewage sludge incinerators, as well as the major
risk assumptions made in developing the standard.

In November 1989 the Halogenated Organic Solvents
Subcommittee conferred with ODW on a series of chemical mixtures
which are under review by ODW; namely, gasoline, polyaromatic
hydrocarbons (PABs), and certain plasticlzers (phtalates and
adipataa).
The SubCjtJBmUttsej concluded that beniene was the most
appropriate svjjfwnea^t upon which to base a risk assessment for
gasoline, ft* toilcity of other water-soluble components could
be treated uslao; IPA's risk assessment guidelines for mixtures.
Gasoline additives could be considered on an Individual basis.
The Subcommittee also concluded that dimethyl hexyl phthalate
(DBHP) and dimethyl-hexyl adipate (D8HA) should be assessed
separately since they have different weight-of-evidence
classifications; 82 and C, respectively. .,
SAB-8BO89-037
Draft pollution prevention Research plan:
Report to Congress
The Pollution Prevention Subcommittee of the tnvironmental
Engineering committee of the 0. S. Environmental protection
Agency's Science Advisory Board (SAB) has prepared a report on
the Agency's Draft pollution prevention Research Plan: Report to
-------
-ongress. The Board found that -.he Agency's draft report to
Congress provides' an excellent framework for addressing the
critical research elements to support a more comprehensive
Agency-wide, multi-media pollution prevention initiative. A
continuing, well-funded core research program in pollution
prevention within EPA is critical to support the new EPA paradigm
centered on preventing pollution, rather than on "end-of-pipe"
treatment. The scope of the Report to Congress should be
expanded to include more detail on management, organization and
resource allocation, including commitment from the top, pollution
prevention from on-industrial sources, relationships with the
efforts of other Federal agencies and private sector sources, and
ways to measure progress.

Science Advisory Board's review of Arsenic
issues relating to the Phase II proposed
regulations fro* the office of Drinking
water
The Drinking Water Subcommittee of the'Science Advisory
Board's Environmental Health Committee met June 2-3, 1988 in
Cincinnati, Ohio to review selected issues relating to the
scientific background for regulating arsenic in drinking water.
The Subcommittee concluded that the evidence for essentiality of
arsenic is suggestive, that the current state of knowledge cannot
resolve whether or not hyperkeratoais is a precursor of skin
cancer, and that at dose levels belov 200 to 250 ug as
3+/person/day there is a possible detoxification mechanism that
may substantially reduce cancer risk. The Subcommittee
recommended that EPA develop a revised risk assessment based on
estimates of the delivered dose of non-detoxified arsenic to
target tissues, and consider the potential reduction in cancer
risk due to detoxification in establishing a maximum contaminant
level for arsenic.

StaffDirector
Designated Federal Official for the
Executive Committee
OR. DONALD G. BARNES assumed his position as Staff Director
in March, 1988. He came to the SAB from nearly ten years'
service as Senior Science Advisor to the Assistant Administrator
for Pesticides and Toxic Substances. In that role he became
involved with a number of controversial issues; e.g., pesticide
re-registrations and the implementation of Section 5 of TSCA.
His claim to infamy, however, is most notably tied to "dioxin";
i.e., 2,3,7,8-TCDD. For many years, he served as the Agency's
principal technical point of contact on "dioxin" issues; e.g.,
2,4,5-T cancellation hearings, Agent Orange resolution, and
emissions from municipal waste combustors. His national and
international (WHO and NATO) contributions, while not stilling
the controversy, have generally not exacerbated it — reason
enough, one might say, to justify his receiving the EPA Gold
Medal for Superior Service.
Dr. Barnes has also been active in the area of risk
assessment. He was one of the Agency representatives to the
Office of Science and Technology Policy-led effort to produce a
consensus view of cancer in the Federal government; i.e., cancer
Principles. He was active in the writing of Agency's risk
assessment guidelines for cancer and for mixtures. As a member
of the EPA Risk Assessment Forum, he joins with senior scientist
in addressing complex risk issues that affect different program
offices. As former Coordinator and now Member of the EPA Risk
Assessment Council, he is actively involved with the policy
review of scientific positions on risk.
Prior to coning to EPA, Or. Barnes was Associate Professor
and Science Division Chair at the innovative St. Andrews
Presbyterian College in North Carolina. Today, his teaching itch
gets scratched through stints as "risk assessment trainer" in
EPA's Training Institute.
Hie fora*! education includes a BA (Chemistry) from the
College of Booster, a PhD (Physical Chemistry) from Florida state
University, and subsequent graduate courses in several
health-related areas; i.e., pharmacology, toxicology, immunology
and epidemiology. His informal education includes a wife. Dr.
Karen K. Barnes, and two college-aged sons.
