Methodology<br />

Expedited Proposition 65 methodology (with cross-route extrapolation) was used to derive a cancer<br />

potency factor. Because female mouse survival was poor, the potency was derived using a time-totumor<br />

analysis (Crump et al., 1991; Cal/EPA, 1992). A unit risk factor was then calculated by<br />

<strong>OEHHA</strong>/ATES from the cancer potency factor using a reference human body weight of 70 kg and an<br />

inspiration rate of 20 m 3 /day.<br />
