_I. Chronic Health Hazard Assessments for Noncarcinogenic Effects_I.A. Reference Dose for Chronic Oral Exposure (RfD)Substance Name — Propylene glycol Not available at this time. _I.B. Reference Concentration for Chronic Inhalation Exposure (RfC)Substance Name — Propylene glycol The health effects data for propylene glycol were reviewed by the U.S. EPA RfD/RfC Work Group and determined to be inadequate for the derivation of an inhalation RfC. The verification status of this chemical is currently not verifiable. For additional information on the health effects of this chemical, interested parties are referred to the EPA documentation listed below. U.S. EPA. 1987. Health and Environmental Effects Document for Propylene Glycol. Prepared by the Office of Health and Environmental Assessment, Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office, Cincinnati, OH for the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, Washington DC. Agency Work Group Review — 04/25/1991 Screening-Level Literature Review Findings — A screening-level review conducted by an EPA contractor of the more recent toxicology literature pertinent to the RfC for Propylene glycol conducted in September 2002 identified one or more significant new studies. IRIS users may request the references for those studies from the IRIS Hotline at hotline.iris@epa.gov or (202)566-1676. EPA Contacts: Please contact the IRIS Hotline for all questions concerning this assessment or IRIS, in general, at (202)566-1676 (phone), (202)566-1749 (FAX) or hotline.iris@epa.gov (internet address). _II. Carcinogenicity Assessment for Lifetime ExposureSubstance Name — Propylene glycol This substance/agent has not undergone a complete evaluation and determination under US EPA's IRIS program for evidence of human carcinogenic potential. _III.
