Calculation settings

Table 384 Calculation settings for module Environmental burden of disease.
Name Type Description
Target level
TargetLevelType Select to express hazard characterisations at external dose, internal concentration or internal dose (systemic) level. For an aggregate assessment, that is dietary and nondietary exposure data are combined, the target dose level is always internal concentration or internal dose (systemic). When only dietary exposures are available, the target dose level is optional, i.c. external (administered) dose, internal (tissue) concentration or internal (absorbed) dose.
Exposure calculation method
ExposureCalculationMethod Method for obtaining exposure estimates. These can be modelled exposures (e.g., external (dietary) exposures or internal exposure estimates obtained by aggregating dietary and non-dietary exposures) or exposure estimates derived from human (bio)monitoring data.
Burden of disease indicators
BodIndicator Burden of disease indicators.
Specify the exposure grouping method
ExposureGroupingMethod Specify the method by which the exposures are grouped in bins.
Specify the bin boundaries.

Numeric

Specify the boundaries of the bins by which the exposures are grouped.
