Estimate of Chronic Reference Dose for Oral Exposure (RfD)Last Updated: 11/06/2012
System RfD (mg/kg-day) Basis PoD UF Confidence
Developmental 2 Decreased fetal weight BMDL05 : 10.3 mg/kg-day 66 High
Species Studied: Rat
Duration: GD 0-20
Principal Study: Price et al. 1996a; Heindel et al. 1992, 1994
