Concentrations settings

Selection settings

Table 51 Selection settings for module Concentrations.
Name Description

Concentrations tier

Specifies the concentration data should be treated according to a pre-defined tier or custom.

Use substance conversions

If true, concentrations are modelled in terms of active substances (using substance conversion).

Substance conversion method

Allocation method for assigning active substance concentrations from measured substance concentrations based on substance translations.

Retain all allocated substances after active substance allocation

If true, all allocated substances kept after substance conversion, if false, the concentration data is restricted to the active substances of the assessment group.

Account for substance authorisations in substance conversions

Account for substance authorisations when allocating measured substances to active substance using substrance conversions.

Use extrapolation rules

Use extrapolation rules.

Threshold for extrapolation

Threshold for extrapolation.

Restrict extrapolations to equal MRLs

Restrict extrapolations to equal MRLs.

Restrict extrapolations to authorised uses

Only extrapolate if substance use is authorised.

Impute water concentrations

Impute constant concentration values for the five most toxic substances on the selected (water) commodity.

Water commodity

The commodity for which constant concentration values should be added.

Water concentration value (µg/kg)

Constant concentration value that should be used for water (in µg/kg).

Restrict water imputation to authorised uses

Restrict water imputation to authorised uses.

Uncertainty settings

Table 52 Uncertainty settings for module Concentrations.
Name Description

Resample concentrations

Specifies whether concentrations are resampled by empirical bootstrap or using a parametric uncertainty model.
