Exposures settings¶
Calculation settings¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Risk type |
The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term). |
Express results in terms of reference substance equivalents (cumulative) |
Specifies whether the assessment involves multiple substances and results should be cumulated over all substances. |
Include dietary and non-dietary routes of exposure |
Specifies whether the assessment involves both dietary and non-dietary (oral, inhalatory or dermal) routes of exposure. |
Target level |
Select to express hazard characterisations at external or internal exposure level. |
Match non-dietary to dietary survey individuals |
Specifies whether the individuals of one or more non-dietary surveys should be matched to individuals in the dietary survey according to the individual codes (idIndividual). If unchecked, nondietary exposures are randomly allocated to dietary survey individuals. |
Match individuals of multiple non-dietary surveys |
If checked, exposures from identical individuals in non-dietary surveys are aggregated to obtain the overall nondietary exposures. If unchecked, exposures from random individuals in all non-dietary surveys are aggregated. |
Output settings¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Include drill-down on 9 individuals around specified percentile. |
Specifies whether drilldown on 9 individuals is to be included in the output. |
Summarize simulated data |
Specifies whether a summary of the simulated consumptions and concentrations should be included in the output. |
Store simulated individual day exposures |
Store the simulated individual day exposures. If unchecked, no additional output will be generated. If checked, the output will contain an additional section with the simulated individual day exposures. |
Show percentiles for |
Give specific percentiles of exposure distribution (%), e.g. 50 90 95 97.5 99 (space separated). |
Percentage for drilldown |
Gives detailed output for nine individuals near this percentile of the exposure distribution. |
Percentage for upper tail |
Gives detailed output for this upper percentage of the exposure distribution. |
Show % of population below level(s) |
Exposure levels can be generated automatically or by explicit specification (Manual). |
Exposure levels |
Specify exposure levels for which to give the percentage of exposure below these levels, e.g. 1 10 50 100 200 500. Specify below whether these levels are absolute or relative to ARfD/ADI. |
Exposure levels are |
Specify whether exposure levels are absolute or percentages of ARfD/ADI. |
Number of levels of covariable to predict exposure |
Specify the number of levels, e.g. 20. The range of the covariable is divided by the number of levels: range = (max - min)/levels. For these covariable levels exposures are predicted. |
Predict exposure at extra covariable levels |
Specify specific prediction levels in addition to the automatically generated prediction levels (space separated). |
Lower percentage for variability (%) |
The default value of 25% may be overruled. |
Upper percentage for variability (%) |
The default value of 75% may be overruled. |
