...Regulatory Measures to Protect Human Health continued<br />
Neither the United States Environmental Agency (US EPA), the MassDEP nor other federal and state<br />
agencies have set regulations or guidelines to regulate tungsten in the ambient air, drinking water, or<br />
soil, because of inadequacies in the toxicity database. As noted above, tungsten was recently nominated<br />
for toxicity testing under the National Toxicology Program. Additionally, the Toxic Substances<br />
Control Act (TSCA) Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) revised the Priority Testing List by adding<br />
20 tungsten compounds.<br />
