integrated risk information system (iris)

How Does IRIS Conduct Assessments?

IRIS assessments involve several steps:
1. Literature Review: Comprehensive review of existing scientific literature on the chemical in question.
2. Data Evaluation: Analysis of data quality and relevance, focusing on studies that highlight exposure, dose-response relationships, and health outcomes.
3. Dose-Response Assessment: Establishing the relationship between the dose of the chemical and the observed adverse health effects.
4. Risk Characterization: Integrating data to estimate the potential health risks associated with different levels of exposure.
These steps ensure that the final assessment is robust and scientifically valid.
