ATSDR will evaluate the quality and relevance of such data or studies for possible inclusion into the profile.

For example, are you satisfied with the organization of the health effects chapter by organ system rather than exposure route? (2) Are the new tables and figures clear and useful? Do they make the Toxicological Profile easier to read? (3) If you have previously used any Toxicological Profile(s) for your work, which parts or content are the most useful to you, and what do you use it for? (4) Does the profile contain all of the information you need? If no, please elaborate on what additional information would be helpful. (5) Is there information you would like to see in the profile that is not currently included? If yes, please elaborate on the additional information you would like to see in the profile.
