Using these relationships, a human cancer potency (q human ) of 1.1 [mg/kg-day] -1 was reported (US<br />

EPA, 1987). An airborne unit risk factor of 3.1E-4 (µg/m 3 ) -1 was calculated from the q human value by<br />

<strong>OEHHA</strong>/ATES using the default parameters of 70 kg human body weight and 20 m 3 /day breathing<br />

rate.<br />
