The ILSI Research Foundation has been selected to organize and administer the work of a Peer Consultation Panel to evaluate data and make recommendations to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding biodegradation studies on certain fluorotelomer products.  This work is mandated under the Fluorotelomer-Based Product Biodegradation Testing Supplemental Environmental Project (Biodegradation SEP) which E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (DuPont) has agreed to perform pursuant to the Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) entered into between DuPont and EPA.  The ILSI Research Foundation has been selected as Panel Administrator for this Project.  The Panel will be charged with review and evaluation of data from analytical characterization and biodegradation studies and will provide input to EPA on an advisory basis.
