DPR's Draft Methyl Iodide Risk Characterization
Back to Methyl Iodide - Risk Characterization Process
In mid-2009, after peer review by Cal/EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, DPR posted its draft risk characterization (RCD) for methyl iodide for public comment. In addition, DPR contracted for an additional external peer review by a panel of scientific experts. The panel held a two-day public workshop in September 2009. These written comments on the draft RCD were received by DPR and shared with the panel:
- Amber Wise, Ph.D., University of California, San Francisco, comment letter (PDF, 85 kb)
