*Cumulative exposure may be lower than the threshold for mesothelioma
The values provided are theoretical estimates of mesothelioma risk based on the Hodgson, Darnton model
(2000, 2023). The model utilizes a lifetable approach and a linear non-threshold approach that may
overestimate cancer risk at low levels of cumulative exposure. The model does not consider a possible
exposure threshold for mesothelioma risk and should not be used without specific training in toxicology
and risk assessment.
