#P001chemicalhealthguidelineHealth-based value (HBV) for malathiondrinking waterrequirement0.29 mg/LBased on the ADI of 0.03 mg/kg bw per day, a health-based value (HBV) for malathion in drinking water was derived.Calculated using average body weight of 74 kg, daily volume of tap water consumed of 1.53 L/day, and an allocation factor of 0.20.high
#P002chemicalhealthguidelineAcceptable daily intake (ADI) for malathiondrinking waterrequirement0.03 mg/kg bw per dayThe ADI for malathion is 0.03 mg/kg bw per day. This is calculated by dividing the NOAEL of 3.0 mg/kg bw per day by the uncertainty factor of 100.high
#P003chemicalhealthguidelineNo-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL)drinking waterunknown3.0 mg/kg bw per dayNOAEL based on chronic progressive nephropathy in female rats was selected as the basis for the current risk assessment.Based on a treatment-related increase in severity of chronic progressive nephropathy in female rats.high
