To convert animal dose to human dose, the following formula may be applied: Human dose (m) = Animal dose mg (human weight\ animal weight) 2/3 d The following formula should be used to calculate the incremental risk (Pexcess) at a given dose: Pdose - Pcontrol Pexcess 1 - Pcontrol where Pcontrol is the risk at zero dose of the chemical. The average female mice weight is assumed 0.05kg. Dose in female mice % with liver cancer mg/d 0.00 2.6 0.08 4.9 0.15 9.6 0.20 11.7 0.30 16.4 0.38 20.1 0.45 22.6
