Impact/Purpose:

This document presents a draft assessment plan for inorganic mercury salts that will be the subject of a peer review meeting in 2020 and that will define the scope and approach of the IRIS assessment for inorganic mercury salts.

Description:

In March 2021, EPA released the Systematic Review Protocol for the Inorganic Mercury Salts IRIS Assessment (Preliminary Assessment Materials). As part of developing a draft IRIS assessment, EPA presents a methods document, referred to as the protocol, for conducting a chemical-specific systematic review of the available scientific literature. Protocols communicate the rationale for conducting the assessment of inorganic mercury salts, describe screening criteria to identify relevant literature, outline the approach for evaluating study quality, and describe the dose-response methods.
