An adult male, 150 pounds, consumes water contaminated with 1milligrams of DDT per liter for three years at a rate of two litersper day. Assuming the man does not receive any does of DDT otherthan this, by how much is this amount (the average daily intakeaccumulated in those three years) above the life-time safetyexposure limit of 0.02mg/kg body weight?
Also, given this scenario would the ADI life-time safetyexposure limit be an appropriate measure of this man's risk? Why orwhy not?
