EPA will release its report in two parts. One for non-cancer assessments and
the other for cancer assessments.
On Aug. 29, 2011, the EPA announced that it intends to complete the non-cancer portion of its Reanalysis of Key Issues Related to Dioxin Toxicity and Response to NAS Comments (Reanalysis), and post the final non-cancer assessment to the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) by the end of January 2012. After completing the non-cancer portion, the EPA will then prepare in final the cancer portion of the dioxin reanalysis as quickly as possible. The decision to split the dioxin assessment into two portions, one being the cancer assessment and the other being the non-cancer assessment, follows the release by the Science Advisory Board of its final review report of EPA’s Reanalysis on Aug. 26, 2011. The Reanalysis responded to the recommendations and comments included in the National Academy of Sciences’ 2006 review of EPA’s 2003 draft dioxin assessment.
