Section 302.648 Determining
the Human Threshold Criterion
The HTC is calculated according
to the equation:
HTC = ADI/[W + (F x BCF)]
where:
HTC
|
=
|
Human
health protection criterion in milligrams per liter (mg/L);
|
ADI
|
=
|
Acceptable
daily intake of substance in milligrams per day (mg/d) as specified in
Section 302.645;
|
W
|
=
|
Per capita
daily water consumption equal to 2 liters per day (L/d) for surface waters at
the point of intake of a public or food processing water supply, or equal to
0.01 liters per day (L/d) which represents incidental exposure through
contact or ingestion of small volumes of water while swimming or during other
recreational activities for areas that are determined to be public access
areas under Section 302.102(b)(3), or 0.001 liters per day (L/d) for other
waters;
|
F
|
=
|
Assumed
daily fish consumption in the United States equal to 0.020 kilograms per day
(kg/d); and
|
BCF
|
=
|
Aquatic
organism Bioconcentration Factor with units of liter per kilogram (L/kg) as
derived in Sections 302.660 through 302.666.
