July 28-30, 2009 - Advancing the Science and Practice of Cumulative Risk Assessment

EPA's Office of Science Policy sponsored a workshop to consider cumulative risk assessment from the perspective of environmental health and ecological problem formulation and problem solving. The workshop will explore how the application of cumulative risk assessment differs for different risk management problems, including considerations of community risk, spatial scale, the lifecycle of a facility, pesticides, tribal issues, and environmental justice. A conference proceedings report will be available soon.
