ITER Peer Review on Ethylene Oxide & 
N-Nitrosodimethylamine 


What:   Ethylene Oxide & N-Nitrosodimethylamine ITER Peer Review
When:   August 12, 1999
Where:  Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

An independent panel of expert scientists and risk assessors met in Ottawa to review a hazard characterization and dose-response assessment on ethylene oxide and N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Health Canada developed both assessments as part of the Priority Substances Program under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. This meeting was conducted by Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA), a non-profit organization dedicated to the best use of toxicity data in risk assessment. Expert peer reviewers donated their time and talents to provide an independent review of the assessments. The objective is a comprehensive overall review of the materials as provided by the combined experience of all the reviewers.
