Presentation for the public science meeting on the IRIS Assessment Plan for vanadium Compounds (Inhalation Exposure)

In May 2021, EPA has released the draft IRIS Assessment Plan (IAP) for Inhalation Exposure to Vanadium and Compounds for public review and comment. An IRIS Assessment Plan (IAP) communicates to the public the plan for assessing each individual chemical and includes summary information on the IRIS Program’s scoping and initial problem formulation; objectives and specific aims for the assessment; the PECO (Populations, Exposures, Comparators, and Outcomes) criteria that outlines the evidence considered most pertinent to the assessment; and identification of key areas of scientific complexity. The PECO provides the framework for developing literature search strategies and inclusion/exclusion criteria, particularly with respect to evidence stream (i.e., human, animal, mechanistic), exposure and outcome measures. The IAP serves to inform the subsequent development of the chemical specific systematic review protocol.

Impact/Purpose

This presentation is for the IRIS Public Science Meeting on July 14, 2021 for the IRIS Assessment Plan (IAP) for Vanadium and Compounds (Inhalation Exposure). It provides a summary of the IAP, including the initial literature search results and the key issues that will be considered in the assessment.
