NTP Soliciting Information and Experts for Project Regarding Association Between PFOA and PFOS Exposures and Immunotoxicity in Humans
The National Toxicology Program’s (NTP’s) Office of Health Assessment and Translation is inviting information submissions about ongoing studies or upcoming publications targeting evidence of an association between exposures to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and immunotoxicity to assist in the preparation of a monograph on the topic. PFOA and PFOS are chemical compounds that have been widely used in commercial and industrial applications, including food packaging and water-resistant coatings. NTP is also seeking scientists with expertise in areas such as epidemiology, immunotoxicology and biostatistics to serve on an ad hoc panel to peer review the draft monograph. Information submissions and nominations of scientific experts are due by September 30, 2015. See Federal Register, August 14, 2015.
