4.1. Overview

As stated previously, inhalation toxicity values are often presented as a concentration of a particular chemical in air and may be directly compared to environmental concentrations and can, therefore, be considered exposure guidelines. Conversely, oral toxicity values are often presented as an applied or administered dose (e.g., mg/kg-day), which are subsequently used in equations to derive values that may be useful for establishing exposure guidelines or clearance goals for drinking water, soil, and surfaces.
