Exposure Assessment Specialty Group sees the 1996
joint meeting of the Society for Risk Analysis and the
International Society of Exposure Analysis (ISEA) in New Orleans
as a great opportunity for the group's participation (see page
3). The SRA Council approved the joint meeting when it met in
March. The group encourages its members to begin thinking about
session topics for the meeting that highlight the role of
exposure assessment in risk assessment.
Specialty group members who did not previously respond to
calls for participants in the Residential Exposure Assessment
Project (REAP) but would like to contribute expertise or suggest
potential sources of additional funds should contact the SRA
Secretariat. The project is a cooperative agreement among SRA,
ISEA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and several
industrial sponsors to produce a source book on multiple aspects
of residential exposure. The final product is due in 1996.
