| #P001 | chemical | health | guideline | Health-based value (HBV) for malathion | drinking water | requirement | 0.29 mg/L | Based 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 |
| #P002 | chemical | health | guideline | Acceptable daily intake (ADI) for malathion | drinking water | requirement | 0.03 mg/kg bw per day | The 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 |
| #P003 | chemical | health | guideline | No-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) | drinking water | unknown | 3.0 mg/kg bw per day | NOAEL 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 |
