Question

Characterize the risk for a chronic daily exposure by the water pathway (oral) of 1.34 x 10-4 mg/kg/day of tetrachloroethylene, 1.43 x 10-3 mg/kg/day of arsenic, and 2.34 x 10-4 mg/kg/day of dichloromethane (methylene chloride).

Answer 1

Risk(tetrachloroethylene) = 7.236 x 10^-5

Risk(arsenic) = 2.145 x 10^-3

Risk(Dichloromethane) = 3.276 x 10^-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rick factor(oral) is cancer potency

Risk = slope factor x exposure

Risk(tetrechloroethylene) = 0.54 x 1.34 x 10^-4

Risk(arsenic) = 1.5 x 1.43 x 10^-3

Risk(Dichloromethane) = 0.014 x 2.34 x 10^-4
