Description

The EPA’s Integrated Risk Info. System (IRIS) contains EPA’s position on the potential human health effects of exposure to more than 540 chemicals. Toxicity assessments in the IRIS database constitute the first 2 critical steps of the risk assessment process, which in turn provides the foundation for risk mgmt. decisions. Thus, IRIS is a critical component of EPA’s capacity to support scientifically sound environmental decisions, policies, and regulations. This testimony discusses: (1) highlights of a 3/08 report, “Chemical Assessments: Low Productivity and New Interagency Review Process Limit the Usefulness and Credibility of EPA’s Integrated Risk Info. System;” and (2) key aspects of EPA’s revised IRIS assessment process, released on 4/10/08.
