External Peer Review Activities for Pfna Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Assessment (July/August 2024)
Citation:
External Peer Review Activities for Pfna Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Assessment (July/August 2024).
Impact/Purpose:
EPA is undertaking development of the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) health assessment for PFBA. The outcome of this meeting is to collect public and external peer review comments and feedback on the draft IRIS Toxicological Review PFBA Assessment that will be entered into the IRIS database.
Description:
Meeting Objective
To facilitate the independent external peer review of the draft PFAS IRIS assessments, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contracted with ERG to run a public meeting. This website serves as a resource for the peer review activities associated with the draft IRIS assessment of PFNA.
To help address this complex issue, the EPA is taking a proactive approach. Specifically, the development of human health toxicity assessments for exposure to individual PFAS represents only one component of the broader PFAS action plan underway at the EPA. The five Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) toxicity assessments are being developed according to the scope and methods outlined in the systematic review protocol building upon several other PFAS assessments that have already been developed.
