Unit variability factors

Unit variability factors specify the variation in concentrations between single units of the same food, which have been put together in a mixture sample on which the concentration measurements have been made. Unit variability factors are used for modelling unit variability in acute (individual) dietary exposures calculations to account for the fact that concentration data often relate to composite samples, whereas an acute risk may result from consumption of single food units. For the same purpose, they are also used in the IESTI model for single value dietary exposures calculations.
