Concise International Chemical Assessment Documents (CICADs)

This page provides a description and a link to a "Concise International Chemical Assessment Documents (CICADs)" database that provides information needed when modeling exposure levels or performing exposure assessment.

Short Description

Concise International Chemical Assessment Documents (CICADs) are the latest in a family of publications from the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS). CICADs are concise documents that provide summaries of the relevant scientific information concerning the potential effects of chemicals upon human health and/or the environment. They are based on selected national or regional evaluation documents or on existing EHCs. The primary objective of CICADs is characterization of hazard and dose–response from exposure to a chemical. CICADs are not a summary of all available data on a particular chemical; rather, they include only that information considered critical for characterization of the risk posed by the chemical.
