I got some oral reference doses of metals but not more than 8 heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Cr, As, Pb, Cd, Hg, Zn) from different journal papers. Now I want to get more than 10 heavy metals oral reference dose and the direct link of sources. All the reference doses of heavy metals from different journal papers are not same. That's why I want to get the recent value of oral reference dose(RfD) as well as carcinogenic slope factor (CSF).
I suggest using the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) database. The following URL link gets you to an introductory page along with a search field:
https://www.epa.gov/iris
You can search using the name of a substance, such as a metal, or its Chemical Abstract Service Registration Number (CAS or CASRN). The database includes parameters such as the Reference Dose (RfD) for oral exposure and the Reference Concentration (RfC) for inhalation exposure, as well as cancer potency factors.
I hope this info is helpful; please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
Thank you so very much for your reply. But I want to get the RfD and carcinogenic slope factor for oral exposure values(fish samples not vegetables or other crops)?
Could you please clarify me?
