2017 US EPA Integrated Science Assessment – Sulphur Dioxide
January 8th, 2018
In December 2017, the US EPA published an updated integrated science assessment for sulphur dioxide using research published to end August 2016. Key findings on causality are summarised below as compared with the 2008 assessment.
The assessment also noted that reproductive and developmental effects were inadequate to infer a causal relationship for a wide range of exposure durations.
It should be noted that the assessment did not consider transformation products such as sulfate (these being considered in the integrated science assessment for particulate matter, US EPA, 2009).
