Technical Basis
There were no exposure limits listed for fluoranthene. Rat, mouse, and rabbit toxicity LD50 dosages were found. Based on species preferability, rat data is chosen for TEEL-3 development (Table 3.4). The adjustment factors in Table 3.5 were used for TEEL-2 and TEEL-1 development.
TEEL-1 = TEEL-2/11
TEEL-2 = TEEL-3/6
TEEL-3: LD50, Rat, oral, 2000 mg/kg
Both analysts converged to the same values using the same method and starting point. Toxic doses (e.g., TDLo) were investigated for TEEL-2: mouse intraperitoneally administered data was found, but it occurred over a 13-week period, which is classified as an intermediate exposure instead of an acute exposure (suitable for TEEL development). No other toxic dose data was found. Therefore, the adjustment factors in Table 3.5 were used for TEEL-2 and TEEL-1 development. TEELs were rounded to two significant figures and converted from referenced units to either ppm or mg/m3, providing both values.
