B. Task to Complete
1) Using exposure dose estimates, categorize the level of Public Health Hazard for the following:
a. Adult (0.029729 mg/kg-day).
b. Child (0.06994 mg/kg-day).

2) Justify the category of public health hazard selected in Question 1 above. The discussion should include a brief overview of quantitative and qualitative evidence supporting your selection.

3) Discuss whether the quantitative evidence is an overestimate or underestimate of the risk from exposure at the site (support this "professional judgment call" with evidence).

4) Identify actions that may end or reduce exposure (if necessary).

a. Prioritize these actions; do not recommend actions after risk is reduced below level of concern.
b. Identify any additional site or chemical characterization that might reduce uncertainties and thereby improve the quality of the risk assessment (if necessary).
c. Identify any appropriate follow-up health activities (if necessary).
