Abstract
The document describes methodology for the derivation of Inhalation Reference Doses (RfDis). An RfDi is defined as an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a continuous lifetime inhalation exposure to the human population (including sensitive subpopulations) that is likely to be without appreciable risk of adverse noncancer health effects. A detailed discussion of factors that determine inhaled dose, including respiratory anatomy and physiology and the physiochemical properties of the inhaled pollutants, is provided. Discussions of these area included currently available information on interspecies variability. Issues related to the evaluation of study design and the generation and characterization of inhalation exposures are also discussed. Guidance on use of human data, choice of toxicity studies, application of uncertainty factors and the minimum data criteria for RfDi development is also provided.
