On May 27 and 28, 1998 EPA sponsored a workshop entitled: Peer Consultation Workshop on Selenium
Aquatic Toxicity and Bioaccumulation. This workshop brought together nine experts on the aquatic
chemistry and biology of selenium to discuss technical issues underlying the freshwater aquatic life
chronic criterion. The goal of this peer consultation was to obtain early assessment of the state of
the science on various technical issues associated with deriving aquatic life criteria for selenium.
This document presents the proceedings from this workshop and is considered by EPA to be a valuable
technical resource for future refinement of EPA's aquatic life criteria for selenium.
The main body of the report is found immediately below. Other workshop materials, including the
agenda and lists of experts, presenters, and observers, are provided in Appendix A. Appendix B
contains the technical charge to the experts and background materials. Appendix C contains the experts'
premeeting comments. Additional references provided by experts, workshop presentation materials, and
observer presentations are included in Appendices D, E, and F respectively.
