aDifferent subsets of the 786 data sets were considered, as represented by the following cases. Case 1: All data sets adequate for dose–response modeling [according to the criteria in Supplemental Material, Section 1 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1003327)] and for which an SNCD was derived; all 786 data sets adequate for modeling were included for the NOAEL case. Case 1b: Data sets in case 1 for which the NOAEL was lower than the highest dose. Case 1c: Data sets in case 1 for which an SNCD0.67 was derived. Case 1d: Data sets in case 1 for which an SNCD1.0 was derived. Case 2: Data sets with the lowest NOAEL in each selected technical report included in case 1. Case 3: Data sets in case 1 including at most one dose for which the observed extra risk was > 0 and ≤ 0.2; the observed extra risk at a given dose, i, was calculated as [xi/nip(0)]/[1 – p(0)], where p(0) is the point estimate of the background risk. Case 4: Data sets in case 1 including more than one dose for which the observed extra risk was > 0 and ≤ 0.2.
