Other Documents - Scientific Review Panel (SRP)
on Toxic Air Contaminants

This page last reviewed September 16, 2008

The Scientific Review Panel (SRP) is charged with evaluating the risk assessments of substances proposed for identification as toxic air contaminants by the Air Resources Board (ARB) and the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR). In carrying out this responsibility, the SRP receives materials submitted by invited scientists. Those materials made available to the ARB in electronic format are now being made available on this website and are identified below for download.

At its March 11, 1998 meeting, the Scientific Review Panel invited scientists regarding the discussion on diesel exhaust as a toxic air contaminant. Several of the invited scientists used written materials and/or visual aids. These are found below:
