SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary of Information About the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) 

IRIS is a database that contains 

potential adverse human health effects 

information that may result from 

chronic (or lifetime) exposure to specific 

chemical substances found in the 

environment. The database (available on 

the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/iris) 

contains qualitative and quantitative 

health effects information for more than 

500 chemical substances that may be 

used to support the first two steps 

(hazard identification and doseresponse evaluation) of a risk 

assessment process. When supported by 

available data, the database provides 

oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for chronic health effects, and 

oral slope factors and inhalation unit 

risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined 

with specific exposure information, 

government and private entities can use 

IRIS data to help characterize public 

health risks of chemical substances in a 

site-specific situation and thereby 

support risk management decisions 

designed to protect public health. 

II. Workshop Information 

Members of the public may attend the 

workshop as observers, and there will 

be a limited time for oral comments 

from the public. Please let ORISE know 

if you wish to make comments during 

the workshop prior to the meeting by 

registering on the Web site at http:// 

www.orau.gov/trichloroethane and 

indicating your intent to make oral 

comments. Space is limited, and 

reservations will be accepted on a firstcome, first-served basis.
