2. Trichloroacetic acid is sometimes produced during disinfection of drinking water. a. Report the relevant slope factor found in the EPA IRIS database (http://www.epa.gov/iris). b. If 1 cancer case per 10,000 people is considered acceptable, what is the appropriate maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) of trichloroacetic acid in drinking water? 3. A factory that uses dichloromethane (DCM) as a solvent has an airborne concentration of 340 g/m3 . The inhalation slope factor for DCM is 3.5 104 (mg/kg-d)-1 . What is the added cancer risk to workers in the factory due to DCM? Would this be considered acceptable if the acceptability limit for cancer risk is 106 ?
