Dietary exposures¶
Dietary exposures are the amounts of substances, expressed per kg bodyweight or per individual, to which individuals in a population are exposed from their diet per day. Depending on the exposure type, dietary exposures can be short-term/acute exposures and then contain exposures for individual-days, or they can be long-term/chronic exposures, in which case they represent the average exposure per day over an unspecified longer time period.

Calculation of dietary exposures¶
Dietary exposures are calculated from consumptions per food-as-measured and concentration models. Optionally, also processing factors and unit variability models are applied.
