-------
This document is a compilation of tables for the data extraction and evaluation for C.I. Pigment Violet
29 (CASRN 81-33-4). Each table shows the data point or set or information element that was
extracted and evaluated from a data source in accordance with Appendix D of the Application of
Systematic Review in TSCA Risk Evaluations U.S. EPA (2018). If the source contains more than one
data set or information element, the review provides an overall confidence score for each data set or
information element that is found in the source. Therefore, it is possible that a source may have more
than one overall quality/confidence score.
