Impact/Purpose:
EPA is undertaking an update to the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) health assessment for DEP. The outcome of this project is an updated Toxicological Review and IRIS Summary for DEP that will be entered into the IRIS database.
Description:
In March 2014, EPA released the draft literature searches and associated search strategies, evidence tables, and exposure response arrays for DEP to obtain input from stakeholders and the public prior to developing the draft IRIS assessment. Specifically, EPA was interested in comments on the following:
- Draft literature search strategies
- The approach for identifying studies
- The screening process for selecting pertinent studies
- The resulting list of pertinent studies
- Preliminary evidence tables
- The process for selecting studies to include in evidence tables
- The quality of the studies in the evidence tables
