Comments by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Regarding Draft Integrated Science Assessment for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants EPA Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-ORD-2011-0050

چکیده
In the ISA, EPA indicates that many of the overall conclusions remain generally the same as the last National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) review which was completed in 2008. However, contrary to the EPA’s statement, the ISA includes conclusions regarding a wide-range of health effects including stronger causal associations for both short-term and long-term exposures to ozone and newer end points such as the effects to the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and reproductive and developmental effects. In addition, despite lack of compelling evidence, EPA concludes causal associations with long-term exposure to ambient ozone and mortality.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determines that n-propyl bromide (nPB) is an acceptable substitute for methyl chloroform and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)–113 in the solvent cleaning sector under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program under section 612 of the Clean Air Act. The SNAP program reviews alternatives to Class I and Class II ozone depleting substances and approves...

EPA developed exposure-response functions (ERFs) for lung function decrements (as measured by changes in forced expiratory volume in one second, FEV1) from several controlled human exposure studies. It did this based on two models, one that was used in the 2007 ozone NAAQS review and an alternative model by McDonnell et al. (2010). The quantitative results of these risk assessments were recentl...

Beyond Pesticides’ comment (Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0889-0384): Once again EPA is proposing to repeat missteps of the past by registering a pesticide known to be toxic to non-target organisms without all required data to ensure its safety. As already seen with the neonicotinoid, clothianidin, and the herbicide aminocyclopyrachlor (Imprelis®), conditional registration without relevant ecologica...
