National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures

Work Groups

Historical Document

This Web site is provided by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) ONLY as an historical reference for the public health community. It is no longer being maintained and the data it contains may no longer be current and/or accurate.

Six work groups were convened to research and make recommendations on cross-cutting public health and chemical exposure issues. Work groups were formed in late summer 2009 through a multi-stage membership selection process.

Draft work group reports, comments that were submitted on them, and final work group reports are available on RESOLVE’s Web site.
