Workshop on Endocrine Disruptors

agency: Environmental Protection Agency.

action: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

summary: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is sponsoring a 
workshop to develop research needs to address the hypothesis that 
chemicals present in the environment may have adverse hormonally-
mediated effects on humans and wildlife. The goals of this workshop are 
twofold: (1) to provide a forum for communication of information on 
endocrine disruptors among a diverse assembly of organizations and 
scientific specialities; and (2) to develop a national strategy that 
delineates short term and long term projects necessary for 
understanding the magnitude and nature of the issues related to 
endocrine disruptors. Specific activities will be focused on research 
needs related to potential effects on reproductive, immunologic, and 
neurologic function as well as on carcinogenic effects. How such 
research will be of use in the risk assessment process will be an 
important consideration in the deliberations.

dates: The workshop will be held April 10-13, 1995, at the Radisson 
Plaza Hotel, Raleigh, North Carolina. The workshop is open to the 
public, although seating will be limited and advanced registration is 
required. Interested parties should contact Ms. Theresa Harris, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, HERL, MD-70, Research Triangle Park, 
NC 27711; telephone [phone].

    Dated: March 7, 1995.
Henry L. Longest II,
Acting Assistant Administrator for Research and Development.
