Klaunig Appointed to EPA Science Panel
James E. Klaunig, PhD, professor in the Department of Pharmacology
and Toxicology, has been appointed to the U.S. Environmental Protection

play a big part in the success of a prudent approach to effective
environmental protection,” said EPA Administrator Christine

and economic issues. It also assists on emergency and other short-notice
EPA programs and actions.
