How Does IRIS Contribute to Toxicology?

In toxicology, understanding the dose-response relationship of chemicals is essential. IRIS offers valuable data in this regard by providing reference doses (RfD) and reference concentrations (RfC) for chronic health effects. These values estimate the daily exposure levels that are likely to be without appreciable risk of harmful effects during a lifetime. Such data are pivotal for risk assessors in determining safe exposure levels for humans.
