| Abstract |
The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) provides information on how chemicals affect human health and is a primary source of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) risk assessment information on chemicals of environmental concern. It serves as a guide for the hazard identification and dose-response assessment steps of EPA risk assessments. IRIS makes chemical-specific risk information readily available to those who must perform risk assessments and also increases consistency in risk management decisions. The principal section of IRIS is the chemical files. The chemical files contain: oral reference doses (RfD) and inhalation reference concentrations (RfC) for noncarcinogens; oral and inhalation carcinogen assessments; summarized Drinking Water Health Advisories; summaries of selected EPA regulations; supplementary data; and full bibliographic citations. The primary types of health assessment information in IRIS are oral RfDs, inhalation RfCs and carcinogen assessments. There are currently over 450 chemicals in IRIS. |
