21 What are Hazard Quotients (HQs)? HQ = Exposure level Effect level HQs are numerical expressions of hazard which are determined by dividing an exposure concentration by an appropriate reference dose HQs < 1 are considered no risk HQs > 1 are considered to represent a potential hazard to receptors 21

26 Kingfisher Preliminary observations ~90% of the TEQs in dietary items can be attributed to 2,3,7,8-TCDF and 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF. Dietary composition on TR was similar to other rivers in the Midwest. Present sample size led to the use of 95% UCL dietary exposure data in the calculation of HQs for a conservative estimate of risk. Although some of the HQs are greater than 1, it is not certain that belted kingfisher along the Tittabawassee River are experiencing adverse effects. These are first-year data from a multi-year study that is utilizing a multiple lines of evidence approach, including dietary and tissue-based assessments and population health assessment. 26

56 Mink Preliminary observations The dietary composition of Tittabawassee river mink appear to be similar to that of mink inhabiting similar Michigan rivers The dietary exposure congener profile based on the site-specific diet is similar to that which would be predicted based on site-specific liver data Dietary exposure hazard quotients based on the sitespecific diet and the 95% UCL for target area dietary items ranges from 0.3 to 0.8 for the LOAEL and 1.2 to 3.6 for the NOAEL The majority of the uncertainty associated with the present HQ calculation lies in the availability of an appropriate TRV 56
