REVIEW OF SMAC REPORTS As NASA began developing chemical-specific SMACs, COT convened the Subcommittee on Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentrations to review the NASA reports for consistency with the 1992 NRC guidelines (see Appendix A)
From page 5...
... The subcommittee recognizes that many factors, such as the changes in normal human physiological and biochemical processes associated with spaceflight, are not fully understood and could warrant revisions of proposed SMAC values as additional scientific data become available. Because of the eno~ous amount of data presented in the SMAC reports, the subcommittee could not verify all the data.
