CHROMIUM 4209. GLOSSARYeither under CERCLA or under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. Quantities are measured over a24-hour period.Reproductive Toxicity—The occurrence of adverse effects on the reproductive system that may resultfrom exposure to a chemical. The toxicity may be directed to the reproductive organs and/or the relatedendocrine system. The manifestation of such toxicity may be noted as alterations in sexual behavior,fertility, pregnancy outcomes, or modifications in other functions that are dependent on the integrity ofthis system.Retrospective Study—A type of cohort study based on a group of persons known to have been exposedat some time in the past. Data are collected from routinely recorded events, up to the time the study isundertaken. Retrospective studies are limited to casual factors that can be ascertained from existingrecords and/or examining survivors of the cohort.Risk—The possibility or chance that some adverse effect will result from a given exposure to a chemical.Risk Factor—An aspect of personal behavior or lifestyle, an environmental exposure, or an inborn orinherited characteristic, that is associated with an increased occurrence of disease or other health-relatedevent or condition.Risk Ratio—The ratio of the risk among persons with specific risk factors compared to the risk amongpersons without risk factors. A risk ratio greater than 1 indicates greater risk of disease in the exposedgroup compared to the unexposed.Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL)—The American Conference of Governmental IndustrialHygienists (ACGIH) maximum concentration to which workers can be exposed for up to 15 mincontinually. No more than four excursions are allowed per day, and there must be at least 60 minbetween exposure periods. The daily Threshold Limit Value - Time Weighted Average (TLV-TWA) maynot be exceeded.Target Organ Toxicity—This term covers a broad range of adverse effects on target organs orphysiological systems (e.g., renal, cardiovascular) extending from those arising through a single limitedexposure to those assumed over a lifetime of exposure to a chemical.Teratogen—A chemical that causes structural defects that affect the development of an organism.Threshold Limit Value (TLV)—An American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists(ACGIH) concentration of a substance to which most workers can be exposed without adverse effect.The TLV may be expressed as a Time Weighted Average (TWA), as a Short-Term Exposure Limit(STEL), or as a ceiling limit (CL).Time-Weighted Average (TWA)—An allowable exposure concentration averaged over a normal 8-hourworkday or 40-hour workweek.Toxic Dose (50) (TD 50 )—A calculated dose of a chemical, introduced by a route other than inhalation,which is expected to cause a specific toxic effect in 50% of a defined experimental animal population.
CHROMIUM 4219. GLOSSARYToxicokinetic—The study of the absorption, distribution and elimination of toxic compounds in theliving organism.Uncertainty Factor (UF)—A factor used in operationally deriving the Minimal Risk Level (MRL) orReference Dose (RfD) or Reference Concentration (RfC) from experimental data. UFs are intended toaccount for (1) the variation in sensitivity among the members of the human population, (2) theuncertainty in extrapolating animal data to the case of human, (3) the uncertainty in extrapolating fromdata obtained in a study that is of less than lifetime exposure, and (4) the uncertainty in using lowestobserved-adverse-effectlevel (LOAEL) data rather than no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) data.A default for each individual UF is 10; if complete certainty in data exists, a value of one can be used;however a reduced UF of three may be used on a case-by-case basis, three being the approximatelogarithmic average of 10 and 1.Xenobiotic—Any chemical that is foreign to the biological system.
