1 Both the NJDWQI slope factor and IRIS RfD for benzene are based on a route to route conversion of an inhalation study, which was determined to be acceptable by the USEPA as substantiated by additional evaluation including physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling.
2 Although a NJDWQI RfD for 2-butanone exists, it is based on an inhalation route-to-route conversion. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route to route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with the USEPA policy concerning route to route conversion of toxicity factors.
3 Although a CalEPA slope factor for chloroform exists, the USEPA believes there is a threshold effect for cancer. As such, an RfD based soil remediation standard is protective of both cancer and non-cancer health endpoints.
4 Although a CalEPA Slope Factor for 1,4-dichlorobenzene exists, there are questions about the study used to develop the slope factor. As such, the Department has decided not to develop an ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard for 1,4-dichlorobenzene using this slope factor.
5 Although a NJDWQI RfD for 1,1-dichloroethane exists, it is based on an inhalation route to route conversion. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with the USEPA policy concerning route to route conversion of toxicity factors.
6 Although a PPRTV RfD for 1,2-dichloroethane exists, it is listed as an appendix value. PPRTV appendix values are based on a study(s) that has flaws as determined by the USEPA. It is the Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy not to use PPRTV appendix values to develop soil remediation standards.
7 Although a CalEPA slope factor for ethylbenzene exists, it is based on an inhalation route-to-route conversion. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with the USEPA policy concerning route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors.
8 Although a CalEPA slope factor for methyl tert-butyl ether exists, there are questions about the study used to develop the slope factor. As such, the Department has decided not to develop an ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard for methyl tert-butyl ether using this slope factor.
9Although an NJDWQI RfD for 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane exists, the Department has decided to use an IRIS RfD to develop a non-cancer-based ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard as the IRIS RfD is based on a newer toxicology assessment.
10 Although an NJDWQI slope factor for tetrachloroethene exists, the Department has decided that the existing IRIS Slope Factor is a scientifically better toxicity value to develop a cancer-based ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard. The IRIS slope factor uses the newest PBPK models (extrapolating from an inhalation unit risk factor to an oral slope factor). An ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard for tetrachloroethene can also be developed using an IRIS RfD. The RfD uses the newest PBPK models (extrapolating from an inhalation RfC to oral RfD).
11Although an NJDWQI RfD for 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene exists, it is based on an inhalation route-to-route conversion. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with the USEPA policy concerning route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors. In addition, a USEPA PPRTV slope factor for 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene is available, however the Slope Factor is based on a controversial mouse liver tumor study that many researchers have dismissed. The Department has decided not to develop an ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard based on the PPRTV slope factor.
12 Although an NJDWQI RfD for 1,1,1-trichloroethane exists, it is based on an inhalation route-to-route conversion. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with USEPA policy concerning route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors.
13 Although an NJDWQI slope factor for 1,1,2-trichloroethane exists, the Department determined that the IRIS slope factor is a scientifically better toxicity value to develop a cancer-based ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard.
14 Although an NJDWQI slope factor for trichloroethene exists, the Department determined that the IRIS slope factor is a scientifically better toxicity value to develop a cancer-based ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard. The IRIS slope factor uses the newest PBPK models (extrapolating from an inhalation unit risk factor to an oral slope factor).
15 Although an IRIS RfD for 1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane exists, it is based on an inhalation route-to-route conversion. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with USEPA policy concerning route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors.
16 Although an NJDWQI slope factor exists for vinyl chloride, the Department determined that the IRIS slope factor is a scientifically better toxicity value to develop a cancer-based ingestion-dermal soil remediation standard.
*17 Although an NJDWQI RfD (1994) for n-hexane exists, it is based on an inhalation route to route conversion. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route to route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with USEPA policy concerning route to route conversion of toxicity factors.

1 An ATSDR RfC exists for acetone using the results of the Stewart 1975 study. The USEPA IRIS notes that this study should only be used in the development of a short-term exposure RfC and not a long-term (chronic) exposure RfC.
2 A HEAST RfC exists for acetophenone, but a subsequent PPRTV review (2010) questions the use of the HEAST RfC.
3 A NJDWQI RfC exists for 2-butanone, but the IRIS RfC has been determined by the Department to be more appropriate. The existing NJDWQI RfC is based on a route-to-route conversion of a NJDWQI RfD. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors. This policy conforms with USEPA policy concerning route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors.
4 A HEAST IUR exists for chloromethane, but a subsequent PPRTV review (2012) states that the use of the HEAST IUR is "Inadequate for an assessment of carcinogenic potential."
5 A CalEPA RfC that once existed for copper has been retracted by CalEPA.
6 A HEAST RfC and a PPRTV RfC exist for dichlorodifluoromethane. Both RfCs are derived using the same study (Prendergast 1967). The PPRTV is listed as an appendix value. The PPRTV RfC is listed as an appendix value because the Prendergast study was determined by the USEPA to have flaws. It is the Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy not to use PPRTV appendix values to develop soil remediation standards. As the HEAST RfC developed using the Prendergast study, the Department decided not to use this RfC in the development of a soil remediation standard.
7 A HEAST RfC exists for 1,1-dichloroethane, but a subsequent PPRTV review (2006) indicated that data were inadequate to derive a chronic exposure RfC for 1,1-dichloroethane. A CalEPA IUR also exists for 1,1-dichloroethane but is based on a route-to-route conversion of an oral study. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors.
8A PPRTV RfC exists for trans-1,2-dichloroethene but a subsequent IRIS assessment (2010) stated "the available inhalation data from the Freund study are insufficient to support reference value derivation and RfC."
9 A 1985 USEPA IUR that once existed for di-n-octylphthalate has been retracted by the USEPA.
10 A HEAST 1991 IUR exists for styrene but USEPA NCEA does not recommend its use.
11 Although an NJDWQI RfC exists for 1,1,1-trichloroethane, the Department determined that the IRIS RfC is a scientifically better toxicity value to develop a non-cancer-based soil inhalation remediation standard.
12 Although a PPRTV RfC for 1,1,2-trichloroethane exists, it is listed as an appendix value. The PPRTV appendix value is based on a study that was determined by USEPA to have flaws. It is the Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy not to use PPRTV appendix values to develop soil remediation standards. An IRIS IUR also exists for 1,1,2-trichloroethane but is based on a route-to-route conversion of an oral study. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors.
13 The IRIS RfC for trichloroethene is based on a route-to-route conversion of an ingestion study, which was determined to be acceptable by the USEPA as substantiated by additional evaluation including physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling.
14 A HEAST RfC exists for trichlorofluoromethane, but a subsequent PPRTV review (2009) indicated that data used to derive the RfC were inadequate.
15 The IRIS RfC for vinyl chloride is based on a route-to-route conversion of an ingestion study, which was determined to be acceptable by the USEPA as substantiated by additional evaluation including physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling.
16 A CalEPA RfC that once existed for zinc has been retracted by CalEPA.
*17There is an inhalation toxicity factor available for this contaminant, but it is based on a route-to-
route conversion of an oral study. The Department's Site Remediation and Waste Management Program policy does not allow, except where warranted with physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, for the development of soil remediation standards based on route-to-route conversion of toxicity factors.
18The 2008 inhalation toxicity factor was based on an equivalency factor from Nisbet and LaGoy (1992). Nisbet and LaGoy did not conduct any original research and relied on studies using dermal application and subcutaneous injection, with one study using intrapulmonary administration (not inhalation). The Nisbet and LaGoy study develops TEFs for PAHs compared to BP. The Department did not use this study because it was not derived from an inhalation study.
19The former IRIS RfC was withdrawn.
