- Description
- The Government intends to award a sole source contract to the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) to provide the United States Army Public Health Center (APHC) Toxicology Directorate to scientifically peer review Wildlife Toxicity Assessments (WTA). An integral component of a wildlife ecological risk assessment is the development of some quantitative measure of the toxicity of a chemical to the animals of concern. This measure is often referred to as a toxicity reference value (TRV). APHC has developed, and is implementing, a standard method of developing toxicology profiles and TRVs for military-related substances that may potentially pose risks to wildlife. The values that are derived are intended to act as screening toxicity values for risk assessment purposes. Since assumptions, professional judgment, and variability in the data are considered, it is necessary that these documents are peer reviewed by other expert toxicologists, ecologists and risk assessors. These defensible values undergo rigorous review internal and external to the APHC. SETAC has been providing scientific peer review of Wildlife Toxicity Assessments since 2003 and has access to more than 5,000 scientists and engineers who work on environmental problems so their members are uniquely qualified to review wildlife ecological risk assessments.
