Evaluate the solution of the following question
Question- The drinking water supplied to community A was found to contain 0.2 mg/L of acetone and 0.1 mg/L of chloroform.
Part 1- Calculate the hazard index and lifetime carcinogenic risk from drinking the water using the EPA default values. Is the risk acceptable?
The RfD for acetone is 0.1 mg/kg-day and the RfD for chloroform is 0.01 mg/kg-day. The cancer slope factor for chloroform is 6.1×10-3 (mg/kg-day)-1 .
I need help to find the hazard index and lifetime carcinogenic risk.
