Environmental Groups Are Praising the E.P.A. for Updating Cancer-Risk 
Guidelines
By MICHAEL JANOFSKY

WASHINGTON, April 3 - A remarkable thing happened here last week: the 
Environmental Protection Agency announced a set of guidelines, and 
environmental groups were largely complimentary in response.

The agency's new approach to assessing chemicals that might cause cancer won 
praise for replacing guidelines that were nearly 20 years old and for taking 
into account, for the first time, the likelihood that children may be more 
vulnerable to exposure than adults.
