Table 3 Incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) from average daily dose (ADD, mg/kg/day) by four exposure routes. Soil intake (ADDIngSoil), food intake (ADDIngFood), dermal contact (ADDDerm) and inhalation (ADDInhal). SF values represent the oral slope factor (SFo) and dermal contact (SFabs). IUR represents the inhalation unit risk (unitless).
