Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)

The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is an online database managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that evaluates the health effects of environmental pollutants. It provides information on the potential risks associated with exposure to various chemicals, including their toxic properties and possible health impacts. The data is used by government agencies, researchers, and the public to make informed decisions about safety regulations, environmental protection, and public health. IRIS aims to support scientific understanding and foster safe environments through comprehensive risk assessments.
