RISK EVALUATIONS FOR EXISTING CHEMICALS UNDER TSCA
U.S. EPA Website, Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, 2017
Each of the following scope documents (5 of the 10 documents posted) covers the hazards, exposures, conditions of use, and the potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations EPA expects to consider in the risk evaluation. The documents describe the occupational scenarios in which workers and occupational non-users might be exposed to specific chemicals of concern during conditions of use, such as manufacturing, processing, repackaging, and recycling. Each document is accompanied online by a separate extensive bibliography of literature concerning the chemical's fate, exposure, and environmental and human health hazards.
