ITER was developed by TERA as a public service, to
provide the international risk assessment community with easy access to the
health risk values of many organizations and to provide a way to distribute
independently derived peer-reviewed values.
We are extremely grateful to these sponsors without whom ITER
would not have been possible. Additional
support
is needed to continue providing ITER as a service to the risk
assessment community.
