Abstract |
The margin of safety is the difference between the expected effect concentrations and the expected ambient concentrations. Two sources of variability, error in the test data and unknown information, necessitate a margin of safety. Inclusion of site-specific considerations can substantially reduce needed margins. The choice of the appropriate confidence level should be based on the importance of the decision and not on habit. |
