______________________________________________
As you may already have heard, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
will release its Second National Report on Human Exposure to
Environmental Chemicals on line (see www.cdc.gov/exposurereport
<http://www.cdc.gov/exposurereport) at 10:30
a.m. EST on Friday January 31.

It will include human biomonitoring data on PCBs, dioxin, PAHs, lead,
mercury, and many other chemicals (see attached list of chemicals
monitored).  As last year's report noted, the detection of a chemical
does not demonstrate that the chemical has or will cause harm.

The Environmental Working Group ("EWG") (an environmental group) is
scheduled to post its complete report on "Body Burdens" (tomorrow)
January 30 at 11:00 a.m. as it conducts a "Body Burden" press briefing.
The briefing will be held at EWG's headquarters (1436 U St., N.W., Suite
100).  EWG also published an advertisement in the New York Times.

Speaking at the EWG press briefing will be:

Charlotte Brody - Healthcare Without Harm
Andrea Martin - The Breast Cancer Fund
Monique Harden - Environmental Attorney
Jane Houlihan - Environmental Working Group
Richard Wiles - Environmental Working Group
