Report of the Peer
Consultation for Methyl Ethyl Ketone
A panel of scientists with expertise in toxicity testing, risk
assessment, exposure assessment, and children’s health met on
February 19, 2004
to conduct a peer consultation of a submission on methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
The American Chemistry Council’s Ketones Panel prepared the
submission for the Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program
(VCCEP). The purpose of the
peer consultation meeting was to provide a science-based forum to
determine whether the existing data are adequate to characterize the risks
of acetone to children, and, if not, to identify data needs.
A
report that summarizes the panel discussions and the individual panel
members’ conclusions is found below.
Note that panel members served as individuals and represented their
