  "definition": "An estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a continuous inhalation exposure for short-term duration (up to 30 days) to the human population (including sensitive subgroups) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. It can be derived from a NOAEL, LOAEL, or benchmark concentration, with uncertainty factors generally applied to reflect limitations of the data used. Generally used in EPA's noncancer health assessments.",
