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 https://www.epa.gov/iris)
contains qualitative and quantitative
health effects information for more than
540 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. Pre-registration is
strongly recommended as space is
limited, and registrations will be
accepted on a first-come, first-served
basis. The deadline for pre-registration
is October 7, 2008. If space allows,
registrations will continue to be
accepted after this date, including onsite registrations. Time will be set aside
to hear comments from observers, and
individuals will be limited to a
maximum of five minutes during the
morning session of peer review
workshop. Please let ERG know if you
wish to make comments during the
workshop by registering on the Web site
at https://www2.ergweb.com/projects/
conferences/peerreview/registercarbontetra.htm and indicating your
intent to make oral comments.
