Consideration of better exposure estimates and alternative dose response models. E.g, a) Chemrisk (including dry side exposure estimates) b) Summit 2) Biomonitoring - No action right now considering ILSI consideration of Dow Chemical perspectives on background levels of metabolites. 3) early cell effects as per report by Lan, et al regarding an association reported between benzene exposure and effects on progenitor cells. Perhaps this is in need of an expert opinion 4) Consideration of options concerning report by Lan, et al of blood count effects at benzene levels of 1 ppm. Options might include further evaluation of the basis of the conclusion, such as review of the exposure assessment. 5) VCCEP publication 6) VCCEP recommendations by the EPA and subsequent industry response 7) longer term data analysis and implications of work anticipated in the next few years; Shanghai and the metaanalysis 8) expert opinion of functional threshold for benzene effects C) Need for timetable of ideas mentioned above (idea, options, when possible) Short term, long term ....
