Background
The current TMP assessment posted on IRIS (1991) does not include an evaluation of the oral noncancer database or the cancer database, and contains a message for the inhalation RfC that the health effects data for TMP were reviewed by the U.S. EPA RfD/RfC Work Group and were determined to be inadequate for the derivation of an inhalation RfC. An evaluation of the TMP database is not available from other agencies. As a part of the IRIS nomination process for selecting chemicals for assessment, a quick literature review of the database was conducted in 2003. While no new critical studies via the inhalation route were identified, newer mechanistic studies, gavage studies, and toxicokinetic studies were found. This information has been used to update the assessment.
