Title:: Preliminary Materials for the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Toxicological Review of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) Draft
Author:: US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
Date Published:: 3/2014
Description:: This draft document presents a planning and scoping summary, information on the approaches used to identify pertinent literature and primary studies, results of the literature search, approaches for selection of studies for hazard identification, presentation of characteristics and information from primary studies in evidence tables and exposure-response arrays, and mechanistic information in a summary table for hexabromocyclododecane (henceforth referred to as HBCD) prepared under the auspices of EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Program. This material is being released for public viewing and comment prior to a public meeting, providing an opportunity for the IRIS Program to engage in early discussions with stakeholders and the public on data that may be used to identify adverse health effects and characterize dose-response relationships. The planning and scoping summary includes information on the uses of HBCD, occurrence of HBCD in the environment, and the rationale and scope for the development of the assessment. This information is responsive to recommendations in the 2009 National Research Council (NRC) report Science and Decisions: Advancing Risk Assessment (NRC, 2009) related to planning and scoping in the risk assessment process. This document is comprised of preliminary materials for review purposes only.
