From page 47...
... The subcommittee recommends that CDEPAT's estimate of 350 mg for a 70-kg man be considered an interim estimate until further research on GF is conducted to establish this estimate with a greater degree of confidence. ED50 for Severe Effects CDEPAT's proposed EDso estimate for severe effects from percutaneous liquid exposure to GF is 200 mg for a 70-kg man, assuming exposure durations of 2 to 10 min and moderate temperatures.
