technical guidance document prepared by the Texas Commission on

the process used by staff of the Toxicology Section (TS) to develop
Effects Screening Levels (ESLs), Inhalation Reference Values (ReVs), and
Unit Risk Factors (URFs). Although this document is primarily written as
guidance for the TS staff, it also documents the ESL, ReV, and URF
development methodology for any interested person with training in
inhalation toxicology and risk assessment.
