Summary: Gina Hilton, a senior toxicologist at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), supports the EPA's use of the ReCAAP framework for the risk evaluations of o-dichlorobenzene and HHCB. She argues that this weight-of-evidence approach is scientifically sound, reduces uncertainty in risk characterization, and avoids the need for long-term rodent bioassays.
