A 2-year-old child has been playing in soil contaminated with 500 mg/kg of tetrachloroethylene. It is estimated that she ingested 5 g/day of soil over an 8-month period. The exposure frequency was 7 days per week. The EPA standard weight for a child 1-5 years-old is 16 kg. What is the chronic daily intake (CDI) of tetrachloroethylene for the child over the 8-month period? What is the percent change in CDI if the child actually weighs 12 kg?
