For decades, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has relied on an independent scientific program to answer two basic questions when chemicals come up for review: Does the chemical pose a threat to human health? If so, how much exposure is necessary before it becomes a problem?
The scientists involved in that program, known as the Integrated Risk Information System, or IRIS, served as neutral scientific referees.
