The number corresponds to entries in Figure 3-2.

b

Differences in levels of health effects and cancer effects between male and females are not indicated in Figure 3-2. Where such differences exist, only the levels of effect for the most sensitive gender are presented.

c

Used to derive an acute-duration oral MRL of 0.1 mg/kg/day; dose divided by an uncertainty factory of 300 (3 for use of a minimal LOAEL, 10 for extrapolation from animals to humans, and 10 for human variability).

d

Used to derive a chronic-duration oral MRL of 0.09 mg/kg/day; dose adjusted for intermittent exposure and divided by an uncertainty factory of 300 (3 for use of a minimal LOAEL, 10 for extrapolation from animals to humans, and 10 for human variability).

Bd Wt = body weight; CNS = central nervous system; d = day(s); F = female; (F) = food; (G) = gavage; Gd = gestation day; Gastro = gastrointestinal; LD50 = lethal dose, 50% kill; LOAEL = lowest-observed-adverse-effect level; M = male; NOAEL = no-observed-adverse-effect level; (W) = water; wk = week(s); × = time(s)
