  2. Cancer slope factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_slope_factor

    C = Concentration of the chemical in the contaminated environmental medium (soil or water) to which the person is exposed. The units are mg/kg for soil and mg/L for water. IR i = Intake rate of the contaminated environmental medium for age bin "i". The units are kg/day for soil and L/day for water. BW i = Body weight of the exposed person for ...

  3. Population equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_equivalent

    Population equivalent (PE) or unit per capita loading, or equivalent person (EP), is a parameter for characterizing industrial wastewaters.It essentially compares the polluting potential of an industry (in terms of biodegradable organic matter) with a population (or certain number of people), which would produce the same polluting load.

  4. Reference dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_dose

    Cholinesterase inhibition was observed at all dose levels tested, and a NOAEL of 0.03 mg/kg/day estimated by dividing a LOAEL of 0.3 mg/kg/day by an uncertainty factor of 10. As with the acute RfD, the chronic RfD of 3×10 −4 mg/kg/day was determined by dividing this NOAEL by the inter- and intraspecies uncertainty factors.

  6. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

    In a healthy adult male of 75 kg (165 lb) with a blood volume of 5 L, a blood glucose level of 5.5 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) amounts to 5 g, equivalent to about a teaspoonful of sugar. [14] Part of the reason why this amount is so small is that, to maintain an influx of glucose into cells, enzymes modify glucose by adding phosphate or other groups to it.

  7. Molality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molality

    The term molality is formed in analogy to molarity which is the molar concentration of a solution. The earliest known use of the intensive property molality and of its adjectival unit, the now-deprecated molal, appears to have been published by G. N. Lewis and M. Randall in the 1923 publication of Thermodynamics and the Free Energies of Chemical Substances. [3]

  8. Ethion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethion

    In a 90-day study on dogs, in which the males received 6.9 mg/kg/day and the females 8.25 mg/kg/day, ataxia, emesis, miosis, and tremors were observed. Brain and erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase were inhibited (61-64% and 93-04%, respectively). At 0.71 mg/kg/day in male dogs, the reduction in brain acetylcholinesterase was 23%.

  9. Toxicity class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicity_class

    The system is based on LD50 determination in rats, thus an oral solid agent with an LD50 at 5 mg or less/kg bodyweight is Class Ia, at 5–50 mg/kg is Class Ib, LD50 at 50–2000 mg/kg is Class II, and at LD50 at the concentration more than 2000 mg/kg is classified as Class III. Values may differ for liquid oral agents and dermal agents. [1]
