7REGULATIONS AND ADVISORIES

International, national, and state regulations and guidelines pertinent to human exposure to white phosphorus are summarized in Table 7-1. No regulations or guidelines for white phosphorus smoke were identified.

A chronic oral reference dose (RfD) of 0.00002 mg/kg/day has been derived and verified by EPA for white phosphorus (IRIS 1993). The RfD is based on a NOAEL of 0.015 mg/kg/day for parturition mortality and forelimb hair loss in rats gavaged with 0.015 mg/kg/day in a one-generation reproduction study (Condray 1985).
