Justification: No data, background exposure assumed negligible in comparison to HCV. HCV is equivalent to drinking water concentration of 3500μg/L based on a 70kg adult consuming<br />

2L/day.<br />

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 />

drinking water in USA are available<br />

Justification: Cresols not widely occurring atmospheric pollutants. ATSDR data selected as most recent representative of background exposure = 31.7ng/m3 converted assuming an adult<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 />

occurring atmospheric pollutants. A national emissions<br />
