The Dioxin Reassessment Report refers to the EPA scientific reassessment of the health effects of exposure to dioxins. It began in April of 1991, and in 1994 there it was published for public review, and in 1995 the Science Advisory Board (SAB) reviewed it, concluding that three chapters (8, 9, and a new chapter) be subject to independent peer review. This involved a 2003 review of the reassessment by the Interagengy Working Group on Dioxin (Dioxin IWG), who recommended a further review by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). This review by the NAS began in November of 2004 and was expected to end by June of 2006.
