AGENDA

1.	Continuation of the Panel’s review of the draft report “Air
Toxics Hot Spots Risk Assessment Guidelines Part II: Technical
Support Document for Cancer Potency Factors” (April 2009)

The Panel will continue its review of the report containing
revised methodologies for developing cancer unit risks and
potency factors for chemicals in the Air Toxics Hot Spots
program.  This program (AB 2588, Connelly, 1998) requires
stationary sources to report substances released into the air by
collecting emission data to ascertain health risks.

Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 44360 (b) (2), OEHHA
must develop health risk assessment guidelines under the Air
Toxics Hot Spots Program.  This document replaces and updates
previous guidelines for cancer risk assessment by revising the
procedures for deriving and applying cancer potency factors to
address information that suggests that children may be especially
susceptible to certain carcinogens.  These procedures address the
mandate under the Children’s Environmental Health Protection Act
(SB 25, Escutia, 1999; Health and Safety Code sections 39669.5 et
seq.) to ensure that risk assessment methods adequately protect
infants, children, and other sensitive subpopulations.

Upon completing its review and approval, the Panel will prepare
its findings and submit them to the OEHHA Director.

2.	Discussion of draft findings for the report “Air Toxics Hot
Spots Program Technical Support Document for the Derivation of
Noncancer Reference Exposure Levels” (December 2008)

Having completed its review and having approved the report and
RELs (Reference Exposure Levels) for six contaminants (acrolein,
acetaldehyde, arsenic, mercury, manganese, and formaldehyde) the
Panel will discuss its findings.
