Evaluation Program.
1. “Report
of the Peer Consultation Meeting On Decabromodiphenyl Ether.
April 2 and 3, 2003 University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati,
Ohio.”(PDF)
A panel of scientists with expertise in toxicity testing, risk
assessment, exposure assessment, and children’s health met
on April 2 and 3, 2003 to conduct a peer consultation of a
submission on decabromodiphenyl ether (a.k.a. decabromodiphenyl
oxide, DBDPO). The American Chemistry Council’s Brominated
Flame Retardant Industry Panel (BFRIP) prepared the submission
for the Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP).
The purpose of the meeting was to provide a science-based forum
to determine whether the existing data are adequate to
characterize the risks of DBDPO to children, and, if not, to
identify data needs.
2. “Report
of the Peer Consultation Meeting on Acetone.” (PDF) Peer
Consultation Organized by: Toxicology Excellence for Risk
Assessment November 18, 2003, Cincinnati, Ohio.
A panel of scientists with expertise in toxicity testing, risk
assessment, exposure assessment, and children’s health met
on November 18, 2003, to conduct a peer consultation of a
submission on acetone. The American Chemistry Council Acetone
Panel prepared the submission for the Voluntary Children's
Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). The purpose of the meeting
was to provide a science-based forum to discuss whether the
existing data are adequate to characterize the risks of acetone
to children, and, if not, to identify data needs.
3. “Report
of the Peer Consultation Meeting on Methyl Ethyl Ketone.”
(PDF) February 19, 2004, Cincinnati, Ohio.
A panel of scientists with expertise in toxicity testing, risk
assessment, exposure assessment, and children’s health met
on February 19, 2004, to conduct a peer consultation of a
submission on methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). The American Chemistry
Council Ketones Panel prepared the submission for the Voluntary
Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). The purpose of
the meeting was to provide a science-based forum to discuss
whether the existing data are adequate to characterize the risks
of MEK to children, and, if not, to identify data needs.

5. “Report
of the Peer Consultation Meeting on Octabromodiphenyl Ether.”
(PDF) June 4 and 5, 2003, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati,
Ohio. A panel of scientists with expertise in toxicity testing,
risk assessment, exposure assessment, and children’s health
met on June 3 and 4, 2003, to conduct a peer consultation of a
submission on octabromodiphenyl ether (octaBDE). The Great Lakes
Chemical Company (GLCC) prepared the submission for the Voluntary
Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). The purpose of
the meeting was to provide a science-based forum to determine
whether the existing data are adequate to characterize the risks
of octaBDE to children, and, if not, to identify data needs.
6. “Report
of the Peer Consultation Meeting on Pentabromodiphenyl Ether.”
(PDF) June 3 and 4, 2003, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati,
Ohio.
A panel of scientists with expertise in toxicity testing, risk
assessment, exposure assessment, and children’s health met
on June 3 and 4, 2003, to conduct a peer consultation of a
submission on pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE). The Great
Lakes Chemical Company (GLCC) prepared the submission for the
Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). The
purpose of the meeting was to provide a science-based forum to
determine whether the existing data are adequate to characterize
the risks of pentaBDE to children, and, if not, to identify data
needs.
7. “Report
of the Peer Consultation Meeting on Vinylidene Chloride.”
(PDF) January 29 and 30, 2003, University of Cincinnati,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
A panel of scientists with expertise in toxicity testing, risk
assessment, exposure assessment, and children’s health met
on January 29 and 30, 2003 to conduct a peer consultation of a
submission on vinylidene chloride (VDC) prepared by The Dow
Chemical Company for the Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation
Program (VCCEP). The purpose of the peer consultation meeting was
to provide a science-based forum to discuss the available
exposure and toxicity data on VDC and determine whether there are
adequate data to characterize the risks to children, or if more
data or studies are needed. The panel used the assessment
submitted by the company as well as their personal expertise and
knowledge to form their personal opinions regarding data
needs.
