The U.S. EPA has conducted an external peer review of the scientific basis supporting the health hazard and dose-response assessment for 2-methylnaphthalene that will appear on the Agency's online data base, the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). Peer review is meant to ensure that science is used credibly and appropriately in derivation of this dose-response assessment. The draft Toxicological Review for 2-Methylnaphthalene and draft IRIS Summary have undergone internal Agency review.
