USEPA Acute Guideline Levels (AEGLs)<br />

A total uncertainty factor of 10 was<br />

applied <strong>for</strong> the AEGL-2 values with 3<br />

<strong>for</strong> interspecies variability because the<br />

mouse was the most sensitive species<br />

and had clinical signs similar to other<br />

species; and 3 <strong>for</strong> intraspecies<br />

variability.<br />

Chronic-animal chronic inhalation study in mice exposed to 316<br />

mg/m 3 (50 ppm) biphenyl 7 hours/day, 5<br />

days/week <strong>for</strong> 13 weeks. The report states<br />

some adverse clinical signs were observed but<br />

they are not stated. Upon histopathological<br />

examination, tracheal hyperplasia was recorded.<br />
