The default lifespan for mice is 104 weeks. In this case, the lifetime scaling factor is equal to 1. An<br />

estimated value for the human cancer potency was determined using the relationship q human = q animal ×<br />

(bw h /bw a ) 1/3 , where bw is the default body weight of human or animal (mouse).<br />

Using these relationships, a human cancer potency (q human ) of 1.8E-2 [mg/kg-day] -1 was derived<br />

(CDHS, 1991). An airborne unit risk factor of 4.6E-6 (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 />
