• Instructors will teach participants approaches for creating a screening level hazard assessment for the primary environmental media of concern in industrial chemical regulation.

• The instructs will lead a hands-on session with the US EPA software and example chemicals to show participants how to predict hazard concerns in the absence of measured data and identify data gaps and data needs for a chemical.

• Instructors will provide insight on approaches for creating a screening level human health hazard assessment and will focus on principles for analogue analysis and read across to fill data gaps.
