Chronic single value dietary exposure assessment
The long term (chronic) exposure assessment is usually the exposure related to a consumption over a longer period of time. MCRA applies in principle the TMDI, IEDI or NEDI (Rees-Day) equations as shown in EFSA PRIMo revision 3 (EFSA (2018)). However, the equations are extended with factors
TMDI (Theoretical Maximum Dietary Intake)
IEDI (International Estimated Dietary Intake)
NEDI (National Estimated Dietary Intake): Rees-Day model (I)
NEDI (National Estimated Dietary Intake): Rees-Day model (II)
Parameters used in the equations
: Maximum residue level for the RAC concerned (default in mg/kg);
: Supervised Trials Median Residue for raw agricultural commodity (RAC) concerned (default in mg/kg);
: Conversion factor residue definition enforcement to residue definition risk assessment (calculated as the ratio of residues according to the residue definition for risk assessment divided by the residue concentration according to the residue definition for enforcement);
: mean consumption for a given raw agricultural product (RAC) calculated for the whole survey/subgroup of the survey, including processed products (recalculated to the unprocessed RAC) (default in kg/day);
for a given raw agricultural product (RAC), calculated from the individual consumption reported by the participants of the whole survey/subgroup of the survey, including processed products (recalculated to the unprocessed RAC) (default in kg/day);
: mean body weight of the population related to the or mean consumption (default in kg).
: Occurrence Frequency of the substance on the food (typically, a raw agricultural commodity, RAC),
: Processing factor or peeling factor (calculated as the ratio of residues in processed/peeled product, divided by residue concentration in unprocessed/unpeeled product);
