  • 2008-09

    Reduce $777,000 and 4.5 positions from the Health Risk Assessment Program. This reduction will decrease resources available for scientific evaluations of the effects of fuels on human health and the state's environment, and will reduce the number of air toxic contaminant evaluations that OEHHA can perform annually. The reduction will also decrease the Office's capacity to establish public health goals for drinking water.
