Abstract | Mathematical extrapolations of the upper limits on risk of cancer at various low levels of exposure to dieldrin and DDT are presented. The statistical model used is that described by Mantel, et al., Cancer Research, 35, 865-872, 1975, the so-called 'updated' Mantel-Bryan procedure. The data upon which the extrapolations are based are derived from the studies by Tomatis, et al., International Journal of Cancer, 10, 489-506, 1972 for DDT and by Walker, et al. Food and Cosmetics Toxicology, 11, 415-432, 1972 for dieldrin. Several alternative methods of treating the data are presented, and pesticide levels associated with various levels of risk are estimated. Certain precautions which must be observed in applying the 'updated' Mantel-Bryan technique are discussed. |
