Using the equation for calculating dose from ingestion of groundwater on page 442 of the text, calculate the Hazard Quotient for drinking water containing allyl alcohol at a concentration of 50 µg/L.
Use the following exposure assumptions: ingestion rate, 2 L/day; exposure frequency, 365 days/year; exposure duration; 10 years; body weight, 70 kg; averaging time, 3,650 days; safe human dose, 0.005 mg/kg-day (RfD from EPA).
[Hints: (1) You will also need to use the HQ equation on page 436. (2) Pay attention to the units for each input and make any conversions necessary to make them work out!!]
Show your work - meaning provide the equations filled in with the appropriate numbers along with your answer.
