IRIS Toxicological Review and Summary Documents For Bromobenzene

This assessment will evaluate both carcinogenic and non-cancer toxicity based on the 2005 Cancer Guidelines and other relevant guidance. This approach will provide a better understanding of the toxicity and will aid in making informed risk-based decisions for protection of human health.

Impact/Purpose

The U.S. EPA is conducting a new health assessment of Bromobenzene that will appear on the Agency's online database, the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). IRIS is an EPA database containing Agency scientific positions on potential adverse human health effects that may result from chronic (or lifetime) exposure to chemicals in the environment. IRIS contains chemical-specific summaries of qualitative and quantitative health information in support of two steps of the risk assessment process, i.e., hazard identification and dose-response evaluation. IRIS assessments are used in combination with specific situational exposure assessment information to evaluate potential public health risks associated with environmental contaminants.
