In the United States, the EPA has issued a preliminary risk assessment of PFOA and requested scientific data and assessment concerning the risks for this chemical.

Additionally, under the TSCA (Toxic Sustances Control Act), the EPA has begun to invite interested parties, including those representing the manufacturers and users of PFOA, to participate in negotiations toward one or more Enforcable Consent Agreements (ECAs).  Further, the EPA has taken action to better understand the sources and exposures which have led to the presence of PFOA in humans.
As more information is collected from the scientific field, additional discussions will take place to determine the level of concern regarding PFOA. A conference has been scheduled to take place this spring to once again convene concerned scientists and other interested parties to share further findings and make new assessments.
