Step 2.1 Estimating Exposure Doses
Example of an Ingestion Dose for Evaluating Noncancer Health Effects
This example involves calculation of a noncancer dose and a cancer dose for a gardener exposed to arsenic in surface soil for 35 years, where
arsenic concentrations 11mgchem/kgsoil
intake rate = 100mhsoil/day of soil from incidental ingestion
exposure factor = 5 days per week, 26 weeks a year, over 35 years
body weight = 70 kg
For noncancer dose
