Research Plan for Dosimetric and
Toxicologic Assessment of Amphibole
Asbestos Fiber-Containing Materials
From Libby, MI
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Data Availability.
SUMMARY: This action announces a plan
for a series of research projects aimed at
addressing the toxicological effects and
dosimetry of amphibole asbestos-
contaminated vermiculite from Libby,
Montana (referred to here as Libby
amphibole). Although available human
data establish the toxicity of asbestos,
and preliminary dose response analyses
for Libby amphibole have been
developed, these estimates can be
refined by addressing some of the key
uncertainties that exist due to gaps in
our understanding or lack of
quantitative descriptions of internal
dosimetry and toxicological effects. This
planned set of projects is aimed at
addressing these gaps and providing
tools for quantitative characterization,
including a comparative analysis of the
toxicity of Libby amphibole relative to
asbestos fibers and asbestos-like mineral
occurrences. Other key areas of research
will also inform the risk assessment,
including inherent toxicity of Libby
amphibole relative to other forms of
asbestos and differential susceptibility,
including that of different life stages.
EPA conducted an internal and external
review of the research plan and has
documented the responses to comments.
