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
PO 00000
Frm 00051

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.
