USEPA’s Peer Consultation Workshop on a Proposed Asbestos Cancer Risk Assessment
was held in San Francisco, California on February 25-27, 2003. The purpose of the workshop was to
discuss the scientific merit of the proposed methodology developed for EPA by Dr. Wayne Berman and
Dr. Kenny Crump. The proposed methodology distinguishes carcinogenic potency by asbestos fiber size
and asbestos fiber type and advocates use of a new exposure index to characterize carcinogenic
risk. Proceedings from this conference can be located at:

USEPAs Asbestos Site Evaluation, Communication and Cleanup Workshop was held in
Keystone, Colorado on September 23-26, 2003. The purpose of the workshop was to provide an
opportunity to share lessons learned from working on large sites contaminated with asbestos. The
meeting was also used to identify key outstanding technical and policy issues, and to begin to
develop a consistent approach to measuring "success", especially short-term impacts and long-term
risk reduction. Proceedings from this conference can be located at:
