TERA

TERA, the Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and disseminating high-quality scientific information for human health risk assessment. Founded in 1996, TERA brings together experts from academia, government, and industry to conduct independent risk assessments, develop risk assessment methodologies, and provide educational resources about toxicology and environmental health. The organization maintains several databases containing toxicity values, exposure factors, and risk assessment documents that are freely available to researchers, regulators, and the public. TERA also hosts the International Toxicity Estimates for Risk database, which compiles toxicity values from authoritative organizations worldwide, allowing users to compare risk assessments from different sources. For environmental health scientists, toxicologists, and risk assessors, TERA serves as a trusted source of peer-reviewed risk information and a forum for advancing the science of risk assessment.
