DERIVATION OF CANCER POTENCY<br />

Basis for Cancer Potency<br />

The carcinogenicity bioassay using male and female Charles River CD rats exposed to 1,3-propane<br />

sultone by gavage (Ulland et al., 1971; Weisburger et al., 1981) demonstrated that 1,3-propane<br />

sultone induced tumors in both sexes at multiple sites; the sensitivity of both sexes was similar. The<br />

dose-response data for cerebellar malignant glioma incidence in male rats, the most sensitive site in<br />

males, was chosen as the basis for a cancer potency factor.<br />

Methodology<br />

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

potency factor. A unit risk factor was then calculated by <strong>OEHHA</strong>/ATES from the cancer potency<br />

factor using a reference human body weight of 70 kg and an inspiration rate of 20 m 3 /day.<br />
