PBK models settings

Calculation settings

Table 335 Calculation settings for module PBK models.
Name Type Description
Multiple substances analysis

Boolean

Specifies whether the assessment involves multiple substances.
Include dietary and non-dietary routes of exposure

Boolean

Specifies whether the assessment involves both dietary and non-dietary (oral, inhalatory or dermal) routes of exposure.
Restrict active substances to substances with available hazard characterisations

Boolean

Restrict assessment group membership based on presence/absence of hazard characterisations.
Number of simulated days

Numeric

The total duration (in days) of the PBK model simulations.
Number of initial days skipped

Numeric

The initial period (or burn-in period, specified in days) that needs to be skipped when calculating the steady-state or peak internal exposures from the simulated time series.
Use parameter variability

Boolean

When specified, use parameter variability.
Number of events per day for the DERMAL dose

Numeric

The daily dose is administered in equal portions (dose / number of events) per event.
Number of events per day for the INHALATION ose

Numeric

The daily dose is administered in equal portions (dose / number of events) per event.
Number of events per day for the ORAL dose

Numeric

The daily dose is administered in equal portions (dose / number of events) per event.
Specify the hours (events).

Numeric

Specify the hours (events) on which a dose is applied. Allowed numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4,…, 24 separated by spaces.
Specify event timings

Boolean

If checked, a sequence of hours can be specified, otherswise the events are derived based on the number of doses per day.

Uncertainty settings

Table 336 Uncertainty settings for module PBK models.
Name Type Description
Resample PBK model parameter values

Boolean

Specifies whether PBK model parameter values are resampled.
