Keep in Mind
• Development of this “tool” (ComET) is a work in progress– Default values provided principally as examples,
for illustration, currently– Not encompassing at this stage
• Continuing suggestions are welcome, but this is NOT peer review– Deadline will determine form of peer review pre
2006• It is the “tool” (ComET) which is the focus of this
meeting, not the substances– Substances for illustrative purposes, only
• “Tool” currently a spreadsheet but form will change
3ComET Peer Input meeting, Cincinnati, Nov. 8th, 2004
Where to From Here?
• Expansion of numbers of scenarios to be encompassing for substances in the program
• Application of tool to remainder of substances on the high and mid groups of the maximal list– Where data/information will help
• Development of a more efficient platform (moving from Access/Excel)– Data entry aids, menu selections
• Review/revision of specific scenarios – Consistency

Additionally Focussing Effort – the Maximal List
• Focus on 1573 substances in “high” and “mid” groups• Subset of 314 substances in the “high” likelihood
group, identified on basis of hazard for which exposure is low– Risk management in place?
• Subset of 388 substances in the “mid” likelihood group for which determinations of persistence or bioaccumulation will contribute
• Data limited for certain types of substances– UVCBs, polymers
• To extent possible, will identify the more limited numbers of substances for which additional information on toxicity will be helpful
