Description: The equation used to calculate the health based value (HBV) for ethylbenzene based upon the cancer risk assessment

The health based value for ethylbenzene is 3 milligrams per litre based upon the cancer risk assessment. This is calculated by multiplying 0.41 milligrams per kilogram body weight per day by 70 kilograms then by 0.2. This product is then divided by 2.15 litre-equivalent per day and the result is rounded to 3 milligrams per litre.
