... evidence in animals, without other highly suggestive ciata from human or mechanistic studies woulct not result in a 2B rating. The committee relied on lARC and NTP classifications of potential carcinogens as a means of obtaining a large set of agents of potential concern that have been systematically and rigorously evaluated by the same criteria.

... Thus, parallel problems ar encountered with drug residues and with pesticide residues as well. The number of all these is large, and establishing exposure with any accuracy to a quantitatively minor substance in our complex food supply entails major problems of surveillance, sampling, and analy sts.

... to dose response data from animal cancer bioassays, thereby providing a lower confidence limit on the TDo~. This pro cedure inctucled corrections for differences in pharmacokinetics at high and low doses, study length, and animal body size.
From page 380...
... Where there were multiple studies of similar quality conducted in the most sensitive species, the geometric mean of potencies cle rived from these studies was calculated. When both sexes of the same species/strain were tested under the same laboratory conch lions, and no other adequate studies were available for that species, the data set for the more sensitive sex was selected.
