Figure A–3. Benchmark dose model fit <strong>to</strong> rodent dose-response data from short-term studies with continuousresponse: Shvedova et al. [2005] (SWCNT, mouse, pharyngeal aspiration; response: alveolar connectivetissue thickening) (P value is 0.23) (polynomial model, degree 2, coefficients restricted <strong>to</strong> non-negative—fit<strong>to</strong> all data except <strong>to</strong>p dose group due <strong>to</strong> nonhomogeneous variance); <strong>and</strong> Shvedova et al. [2008] (SWCNT,mouse, inhalation; response: alveolar connective tissue thickening) (P value is not applicable, linear). Benchmarkresponse level: 1.1 st<strong>and</strong>ard deviations about the control mean response.108 NIOSH CIB 65 • <strong>Carbon</strong> <strong>Nanotubes</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Nanofibers</strong>
