Savannah River Site Health Effects Subcommittee (SRSHES) Meeting

|
Final Meeting Minutes |
|||
Public Comment Period. Mr. Ed Arnold, Director of the Atlanta chapter of PSR, confirmed that he will follow up with Dr. Umansky’s request for epidemiologic guidance. He was grateful that the SRSHES forum is available to the public. He encouraged members with more experience on SRSHES to appreciate the fact that new members can also raise useful perspectives. He underscored the importance of welcoming innovative concepts, since current science can be flawed. For example, scientists and epidemiologists previously reported that particulate matter does not cause cancer. However, recently published studies show that particulate matter in the air causes morbidity and mortality throughout the country. Mr. Arnold advised SRSHES to avoid minimizing the value of anecdotal reports because this type of information is the foundation of epidemiologic data. He asked to review previous SRSHES minutes since these documents contain anecdotal data that were presented at prior meetings. Mr. Green committed to following up on this request and reporting back to Mr. Arnold.
