Methyl iodide; CASRN 74-88-4  


Health assessment information on a chemical substance is included in IRIS only 
after a comprehensive review of chronic toxicity data by U.S. EPA health 
scientists from several Program Offices and the Office of Research and 
Development.  The summaries presented in Sections I and II represent a 
consensus reached in the review process.  Background information and 
explanations of the methods used to derive the values given in IRIS are 
provided in the Background Documents.
