Technical Basis
A review of available data sources identified the following: LCLo1 and oral LD50 2 exposures. Each was evaluated using the guidelines for calculating equivalent values in the TEEL Handbook. A duration of 1 day was assumed for the LCeq calculation.
Toxicity data were evaluated for their relative preference ranking and the rat LCLo data was selected and time-scaled using the ten Berge equation to estimate a TEEL-3 value3. TEEL-2 and TEEL-1 values were calculated from this TEEL-3 value, according to Table 3.5.
• TEEL-1 = TEEL-2/11
• TEEL-2 = TEEL-3/6
• TEEL-3 = Estimated from rat LCLo (4-hr, 8000 ppm)
This review generated TEEL values consistent with those published in Rev. 29A.
