SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

EPA’s IRIS is a human health 

assessment program that evaluates 

quantitative and qualitative risk 

information on effects that may result 

from exposure to chemical substances 

found in the environment. Through the 

IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest 

quality science-based human health 

assessments to support the Agency’s 

regulatory activities. The IRIS database 

contains information for more than 550 

chemical substances that can be used to 

support the first two steps (hazard 

identification and dose-response 

evaluation) of the risk assessment 

process. When supported by available 

data, IRIS provides oral reference doses 

(RfDs) and inhalation reference 

concentrations (RfCs) for chronic 

noncancer health effects and cancer 

assessments. Combined with specific 

exposure information, government and 

private entities use IRIS 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.
