Slope factor definition
Slope factor. , also known as "q1*", means the incremental rate of cancer development calculated through use of a linearized multistage model or other appropriate model. Slope factor is expressed in milligrams per kilogram per day of exposure to the chemical in question.
Slope factor means the plausible upper-bound estimate of the probability of a response (cancer) per unit intake of chemical over a lifetime. Also referred to as Potency Factor.
Slope factor means an upper bound estimate that approximates a 95 percent confidence limit of the increased cancer risk from a lifetime exposure to a contaminant. This estimate is expressed in units of the proportion of a population that is affected per milligram per day exposure to the contaminant per kilogram of body weight of the exposed individual.
