EPA Drops Plan for Asbestos Panel

Sunday, August 14, 2005

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has dropped its plan to assemble a panel of experts to determine the effects of naturally occurring asbestos, or NOA, in California. Elevated asbestos levels have been recently detected around deposits and are thought to be a danger to nearby residents.

Instead, the EPA has decided to undertake a project to determine the effects of long term exposure to naturally occurring asbestos and its' risk on the general population. This decision came after EPA administrator Steve Johnson questioned the effectiveness of an investigation limited to only one of the known locations of naturally occurring asbestos.
