Occupational exposures settings

Calculation settings

Table 235 Calculation settings for module Occupational exposures.
Name Type Description
Seed for pseudo-random number generator

Numeric

A value of 0 will use a pseudo-random seed in each run, a value > 0 will provide the same results in a repeated run.
Exposure type
ExposureType The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term).
Selected exposure routes
SelectedExposureRoutes Exposure routes included in exposure computation.
Method for generating occupational exposures
ExposureApproachMethod Method for generating occupational exposures (modelled or measured).
Method for generating occupational exposures
OccupationalExposureModelType Method for generating occupational exposures (based on a specified percentile or distribution).
Select a percentage (with corresponding percentile)

Numeric

Select a percentage (with corresponding percentile). Note, percentages may very within occupational task exposures. A warning is thrown when the selected percentage is not available for a specific the task exposure.
Compute external doses

Boolean

Compute external occupational doses for the exposure scenarios.
Calculation method
OccupationalExposuresCalculationMethod Method for calculating occupational exposures.
Ventilatory flow rate (m3/day)

Numeric

Ventilatory flow rate for occupational inhalation exposures (in m3/day).
Nominal body surface area (cm2)

Numeric

Nominal body surface area (in cm2).
Fraction skin exposed

Numeric

Fraction skin exposed for occupational dermal exposures.
