On July 20, 2006, ELI convened a seminar at Jones Day in Washington, DC to consider the issues surrounding body burden and subclinical effects in court. Questions addressed at the seminar included: What’s the role of lower detection levels for substances in the body and the environment? Does liability flow from detectability? Is the law keeping pace with the science, causing problems, or both? How do we distinguish between such low levels and background levels?

Speakers included:
Richard Lewis

Linda Birnbaum, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Robin Juni, Jones Day
Anthony Scialli, Sciences International, Inc.
