Due to the lack of adequate monitoring data, it is not<br />
possible to estimate the daily intake of cresols from<br />
these sources<br />

1995 air 100000 ug day-1 In air samples from rooms with a fireplace, cresol<br />
concentrations around 5 mg/m3 have been detected.<br />
This converts to 100,000 ug day based on the CLEA<br />
calculations (20 m3 day air)<br />
2000 Ambient Air 0.634 ug day-1 Monitoring data have not shown cresols to be widely<br />
occurring atmospheric pollutants. A national emissions<br />
study conducted from 1990 to 1998 reported an<br />
estimated ambient concentration average of 31.7<br />
