The workshop consisted of presentations from federal and state government and academia representatives on accessing, reviewing, and utilizing health and environmental effects data made available for HPV chemicals from the HPV Challenge Program and other sources. Presentations also provided a chance for individuals to discuss how HPV data could be used in their particular region. The agenda and presentations from the workshop are available on NEWMOA's Regional Workshop Chemicals in Commerce: Using Data on High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals Web page for the Atlanta, GA meeting.
