cancer and other chronic human health effects which may result from 
exposure to hazardous substances.

inquiries and discussions on the five topical areas mandated by 
Congress: review of the National Research Council's report Science and 
Judgment in Risk Assessment (1994); exposure scenarios; uncertainty and 
variability; risk management; and cross-agency consistency.
