Chromium in <strong>food</strong> and bottled <strong>water</strong><br />

The restricted Weibull models resulted, as expected, in a higher BMDL 10 value of 0.25 mg/kg b.w. per<br />

day and was not used for dose-response assessment.<br />

Table J14: Diffuse epithelial hyperplasia in the duodenum in male mice. The benchmark dose (BMD 10 )<br />

and the 95 % benchmark dose lower confidence limit (BMDL 10 ) values are given for a BMR of 10 %<br />

extra risk with characteristics of the model fit. The model with lowest BMDL 10 is highlighted in bold.<br />
