However, due to the widespread pattern of exposure, the possibility of susceptible subpopulations, and reports of other noncancer effects, EPA has also concluded that more research and testing are required to better understand the comparative risks of different fuels. In its continuing efforts to evaluate the toxicological effects and benefits of oxygenated gasoline, EPA asked the National Research Council to conduct a brief study tO review a draft interagency report from the federal government, prepared under the direction
