From page 311...
... By contrast, d in Chapter 7 and later in this appendix is the equivalent average continuous exposure level from time of first exposure until the time that all exposure ceases. It will become apparent from the following development that this equation for the instantaneous hazard from a brief constant exposure was selected to be consistent with equation 7 in Chapter 7.

... and (G5) also provide the framework for the risk assessments in Chapter 7, which are based on partial exposures at levels higher than the assumed environmental level d = 0.002 fibers/cm3.
