This
is another good example of a "participation homework." It has two cogent questions, put some
comments.
Questions:
- In
order to do the first part of the homework I assumed that the equations
introduced in Sub module 8a are applicable to RfD and RfC, is this
correct? Can inhalation and oral
ingestion be treated the same as far as HQ?
Yes,
they are added.
- For
the significant figures of the HQ you say they are not expressed greater
than whole number precision, but isn’t it more accurate to say one
significant figure since most RfD, RfC, and HQ’s are smaller than one.
Yes,
one significant figure.
Comments:
- In
question 6 in the homework you as if a UF of ten is used for extrapolation
from animals to humans, but on the IRIS website the UF of 10 is for the
protection of sensitive individuals, I guessed that they has sufficient
human data, but in truth the amount of human data was never addressed in
the write up of Ammonia. This
makes the question very confusing
They
discussed the human data.
- In
Question 7 you have section II.4.C written, but it is II.C.4.
- Another
nitpicky thing… The title of the article is “Nev. Town Baffled by Child
Cancer”. (unless I read the wrong
one)Yup
