Abstract
During problem formulation, the IRIS Program was looking for input from the scientific community and the general public as it framed the specific scientific questions for the systematic reviews used to develop the assessments. These problem formulation materials were the first to be developed since the NRC released its Review of EPA's IRIS Process in May 2014. EPA followed these recommendations in developing the ethylbenzene and naphthalene problem formulations materials. Background information on the chemicals was also provided.
In order to facilitate a scientific discussion, EPA identified several key science questions that were a main focus of the meeting discussion.
