Single value consumptions settings

Calculation settings

Table 49 Calculation settings for module Single value consumptions.

Name	Type	Description
Exposure type	ExposureType	The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term).
Restrict population to consumers or consumer days only	Boolean	Specifies whether the population should be restricted to the individuals (chronic) or individual days (acute) that have non-zero consumption.
Ignore sampling weights	Boolean	If checked, individual sampling weights are not used (sampling weight = 1). If unchecked, the specified sampling weights are used.
Use standardised consumption distributions before calculation of single values	Boolean	Specifies whether single values are calculated on individual consumptions standardised with body weight and then multiplied by the mean body weight. Otherwise, single values are calculated on the original consumptions (per day). Note that both methods lead to different estimates for the single value.
Apply processing factors	Boolean	Specified in table ProcessingFactor. If checked, processing factors are applied. Concentrations in the consumed food may be different from concentrations in the modelled food in monitoring programs (typically raw food) due to processing, such as peeling, washing, cooking etc. If unchecked, no processing information is used. This is in most (though not all) cases a worst-case assumption
Restrict population to consumers or consumer days only (food-as-measured)	Boolean	Specifies whether the population should be restricted to the individuals (chronic) or individual days (acute) with consumptions containing any of the modelled foods.
