3、to introduce new Health Advisories.The following information should be kept in mindwhen using the 2006 Edition of the Tables:Reference dose(RfD)values are updated to reflect the values in the Integrated RiskInformation System(IRIS)and the Office of Pesticide Programs(OPP)ReregistrationEligibility De
4、cisions(RED)Documents.The Drinking Water Equivalent Level(DWEL)has been adjusted accordingly.Thus,both the RfD and DWEL in the Tables differ fromthe values in the Health Advisory document when the IRIS or OPP RfD is more recentthan the Health Advisory document value.RfD values from IRIS that differ
5、from thevalues in the Health Advisory documents are presented in BOLD type.Values derivedfrom the REDs are given in BOLD italics.For unregulated chemicals with a recent IRISor OPP RfD,the lifetime Health Advisory is calculated from the DWEL using therelative source contribution value published in th
