ATTACHMENT A

STATEMENT OF TASK

An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will review the revised National Toxicology Program (NTP) Monograph on Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects. The committee will consider whether NTP's revisions have addressed the substantive concerns raised in the National Academies 2020 report Review of the Draft NTP Monograph: Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects. The primary focus of the committee will be to determine whether the evidence as presented by NTP in its revised monograph supports its conclusions.

In 2019, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released the draft monograph Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects. Given the controversies surrounding the risks and benefits associated with fluoride exposure and to ensure the integrity of its evaluation, NTP asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to review the draft monograph. The 2020 report Review of the Draft NTP Monograph Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health identified deficiencies in the analysis of various aspects of some of the studies and in the analysis, summary, and presentation of the data in the draft monograph, provided many suggestions for improvement, and concluded that NTP had not adequately supported its conclusions.

At the request of NTP, Review of the Revised NTP Monograph on the Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects determines whether substantive concerns raised in the 2020 report have been sufficiently addressed by revisions of the monograph and whether the evidence presented by NTP in the revised monograph supports its conclusions.
